You're gaining on it!
*Letting air go under the body is a no-no,so dropping the nose down to ground level would be a good move.Here's 'Kamm's' pumpkin seed body at top,notice how he did the nose
For the rear underside,for lowest drag,about a 2.5-degree up-slope angle has been found to be best.Here's Jaray's pumpkin seed of 1922.Really good pressure recovery (1st diffuser on Earth).
If you look above the wheel fairings on the Template you can see the 2.5-degree slope

Getting the nose down and gentle diffuser will give you extra stability when at speed.
