List;

I wonder if part of the rear-wheel steering problem is having the driver sit
way back toward the rear where he senses a steering correction as a "G"
force in the wrong direction of what's intuitive. If he were moved up to the
CG, it might be a different story.  ...maybe.

it ain't been proven yet to be the way to go. It don't feel the same, and it
don't steer the same. SCTA has allowed 2 or 3 in the past and not one went
1/2 mile before the driver lost the directional foward stability of the
vehicle. I'm done have fun. Glen
