Bob Osiecki’s Mad Dog IV, Chrysler Powered Speed Winner

Others had taken turns making laps while attempting to break the record, most of which ended up with the cars going into a spin due to instability. Osiecki had a plan to eliminate the problem of high speed instability, however. Creating a tail stabilizer, like aircraft use, he shipped the assembly to Georgia Tech where the engineering students built a mock-up of the roadster and tested the aerodynamics in a wind tunnel. The testing showed the car builder where to place the stabilizer, wings and what angle the wings should be at for different speeds............

Aircraft wings are designed to produce lift, the exact thing that Osiecki was trying to avoid. He solved the problem by mounting the stubby wings upside down, which produced a downforce of 1,000 pounds of pressure at each wheel at 200 mph......................
