As I recall over the years there were three attempts at rear wheel
steering not counting the Nobel jet car. I also seem to remember none
getting to the first timing light even with the restrictions of 100 mph
max to see if they could keep it between the black lines. The answer is
Nope. In almost any warehouse most fork lifts are required to travel
backwards for the safety of what seems to be the more natural way of
getting the vehicle to go in a straight line. In every case the
correction in trying to go straight became an over correction to bring
the vehicle back in its intended path only to spin. Gentlemen, it's not
worth the waste of fabrication time to try what ain't going to work.
Just my thoughts of seeing a lot of strange things on the salt. It's a
long wait to the next season.
