Not really gliding, but it looks as though the poms have mounted a
glider wing on a speed car here!

It looks more like a more-or-less complete giant RC glider to me - just
remove the fin and one wingtip and bolt her on.

Did you guys notice the amout of sideways skidding that was going on
during the run? Boy if they could improve lateral resistance somehow
with better traction, they could go plenty faster. There must have
been a substantial amount of drag going on with the vehicle sliding
sideways the entire time. Very cool project though.
