Well, Don, I agree with you, lol! I have about 16 degrees in my SUnbeam
and it is pretty much a light steering control car. When I managed to
spin it this October due to other issues, I found the wheel always
trying to steer into the skid and self correct itself. I was pleased
with teh outcome. Had I had less caster I think I would have done the
special Ed Van Scoy 360 degree braking maneuver. As it was, I didn't run
over the chuite tow line and it didn't wrap around my neck. Oh and I
have a locked rear end to boot! The key I think is getting the car in
correct alignment.
