I used the following formulas to calculate the CG of my cars. Drawing lines through these three points gives a true center of gravity at the point they intersect.
Center of Gravity above axles (point of contact with bore)
CGH - Center of Gravity Height
WB - Wheelbase (inches)
TW - Total weight (in pounds, oz's x .0625)
FW1 - Front weight LEVEL (in pounds, oz's x .0625)
FW2 - Front weight, w/rear RAISED (in pounds, oz's x .0625)
FWc - FW2 - FW1 (change in weights)
HT - Height raised (inches)
Adj - Adjacent side (see below)
Tan q - Tangent of angle (see below)
Center of Gravity along wheelbase (formula gives distance back from front axle)
Rw- rear weight
Center of Gravity across track (formula gives distance from outside left of track)
Rtw- total right side weight
Trw- track width out to out
