True. I like to call it right-foot steering. :-)
The infamous Hardly Boys RaceSpit 4, a rolling tribute to someone's Competition
Preparation Manual, First Edition, still has a welded 4.55 diff to go along
with the dearched, competition spring and camber compensator. Thankfully the
original builder paid attention to Kas's tips for engine work, so the car has
enough guts to make that right-foot steering possible...and fun in an
autocross. But slow-speed turns, such as during staging, are best/only done
with lots of throttle and clutch slip. Makes more noise from the tires than
from the exhaust pipe in those situations! :-)
