Thanks all for the comments so far.
I have experienced the car taking flight a few times already with traditional motor sports aerodynamics. Front splitter, flat bottom, and diffuser in the rear. It does require some significant traction as the acceleration is done in such a short distance.
One of the biggest issues for this hobby is that things are done by visibility. I have about 1/8 mile from the start to my position (in the middle of the run) and another 1/8 mile past me plus slow down room. As a ball park the runs average about 1/4 to 1/3 mile distance. Going much beyond this distance makes it too difficult to see what is going on with the car.
As far as location I have tried a few spots and dreaming of access to a air strip, but for now it is a smooth black top road surrounded by farming fields.
Currently I am in the process of building a long carbon fiber chassis for the car so I can build the streamlined aero body afterwards.
