Chassis Engineering: Chassis Design ... - Google Book Search

that's a long link, but should lead to a Google book result. If not, Google this:

herb adams chassis engineering reducing rotational inertia

and the second hit is a page from his book that shows the weight reduction of a flywheel is 15X the number of pounds. Read the chapter because it's not exactly drag racing from a standing start. His tests are from 64 MPH to higher. Maybe the better way to say it is 3 MPH trap speeds...
