One possible way to help the situation would be to create some spoilers on the sides of your boat tail let's say.
Remember that old TV show Knight Rider? He had all kinds of stuff that would pop out, supposedly to make the car
faster.
In your case, the spoilers would help slow you down until you get to the bottom of the long hill.
Just an idea...
