Dry lakes racing brilliant innovative idea, measuring the front end lift during the run

I don't remember who was just mentioned doing this at the Dry lakes Racing Hall of Fame inductions, (the memory just is falling apart faster than ever) but the streamliner was fitted with an old fashioned gas tank level system, and its indicator on the dash showed the driver if the front was lifting while running the Bonneville course
http://www.oilstick.com/ for a bit more on the event until I get my coverage posted of todays Hall of Fame ceremony

From http://ralfbecker.com/ which might sound familiar, Ralf is the man who makes ChromJuwelen.com
I read about this speed record just last week, but I can't recall where. Thinking a bit about it, doesn't it makes sense to go for speed records on frozen lakes? You won't have to worry about overheating, if you break anything, you don't have to get towed... just pushed, and there are a lot more frozen lakes than other land speed venues (the Australian dry lake Eyre and Gairdner, El Mirage, Bonneville, and Black Rock are the only areas I can think of that you have a long shut down area. The Maxton Mile, the New England Mile, and Ormond are limited if I recall correctly)
