There was an F1 car that had a fan underneath that evacuated the air, when the engine was revved the car noticeably lowered due to the lower pressure under the car. They said it was to cool the engine and got away with it for a while. The trouble was if it rose of the ground too much at high speed it lost the down force and became dangerous.
You can always rely on gravity though, bit by bit it pulls us all into the grave.
Admittedly you never told me what your skills were. Only that you didn't know the dimensions of the front gate in time to be useful. The rest I assumed. My bad.

OK ole man. You are waxing philisophical now.
Isn't it gettin' past your bedtime?
