Tia: Why is the back of that car higher than the front? Baldo: It's for fuel economy. Baldo: When you have the rear up like this... Baldo: You're always driving downhill.
Drag racers also look that way: great big tires in the rear, small ones in front. Years ago, I was told that this meant that they were always driving down hill, getting a boost from gravity. I suspect that the real reason is that the great big rear tires meant that every revolution took them farther forward, but there wasn’t an advantage to having them in front so they didn’t bother.
