Very nice, Frank.
I also agree about adding a little weight to the trunk of the RR drivetrain vehicles (in the front, obviously). This is evidenced by the addition of weight increasing stability on streamlined vehicles, as well.
For reference, watch: The World's Fastest Indian, where Burt talks of "Speed wobble", and someone suggests adding weight to the nose to keep the rear stable.
Also, see Craig Vetter's Streamlined designs, at some point he was experimenting with lead/steel weights on the nose of a bike to increase it's "upward" stability, or reduce the tendency to sway axially on the tires.
EDIT: This post should be below Frank Lee's post... not sure what happened there.
