Howdy,
ohhhh yeah, Definitions section IV-2 Automobile.(some snipping) ....at
least 4 wheels not aligned....(snip).. steering assured by at least (2)
front wheels, .(snip) .....One pair must be on the same transverse centerline.
OK, then the Special Construction Category statement "Innovation is
unlimited." is governed by the definitions sec IV?

John,
Also look at the portion defining automobile which indicates that at least
two wheels must be on the same axle. There is a statement that requires the
steering to be by the front wheels as our friends with the rear steer MR
found out a few years ago. Sorry I am unable to quote chapter and verse on
this one as my books are in my race day brief case.
