Steering Rules

[Simspeed]

Thanks Glen and RichFox...that's good info to know.  Now I don't feel so bad with the limited steering my design allows.

Of course you will need to work on your 30 point turn arounds... 

Well I can tell ya Rear Wheel steering is a bit of a problem.... although I know there was someone running it experimentally at El Mirage... one of the SCTA club officers if I remember....
But we tried it in 1978.... that's the year Marty crashed it about 1/4 mile out... maybe 55 MPH... fell over and slid forever according to Marty.... about 10 seconds  
Fixed it, changed from side by side to inline rear wheels...
In 1979 Marty said he wasn't driving it again,   so Johnboy drove.... he made it about the same distance....  :|
It didn't just fall over... it jumped in the air and rolled a half dozen times before it hit the ground.  We were politely asked to never bring it back... Then they wrote a rule... Cars steer by 2 front wheels

In 1984 that liner was converted to a Lakester... one we raced successfully till 2017 when Johnboy again crashed it... but this time at 190... Oh sure it suffered a half a dozen spins over the years... but the last count was 10 records still in the book when it met its demise.
Don't do RWS

At the Salt Talks in 2006 (I think) I asked Andy Green how he ever got used to the rear steering on Thrust. He said "I never did really."
