It was a 200mph run,B it did not pull, the treadB offset was about 2".The
contact patch is what counts not the contraption supporting the wheel. An
extreme offset tread bias, would eventually pull, kinda like caster/scrub does
when turned.Its the diagonal loading.Again neg. caster might work against spin
propensity(more in a rectangular tread layput).

Jack,
Did 788 pull, at all, towards or away from the "loaded" side? B I have
found that mine pulls a little away from the side with the most
weight on the spindle.....as it should. So weight control or loading
is very important.......never had this problem with
airplanes......just vertical stabilizer angle of attack/incidence.........(-:
