Heck, for those cars with little frontal area, we could mount the bottle so that the fill neck is pointing backwards, heat the bottle like the bike people did, then when up to speed knock the neck of

ooooh, ooooh, oooh, (Hand goes up in the air!) how about a selective air pressure system which changes the stagger on the front wheels? Little more air on one side and that side has a larger rolling

Should still work, maybe? Per the rule book the wheels must be offset, cannot be inline. See Al teagues car. Otherwise isnit it classified as a "ahem" motorcycle or some such? But, adding the stagger

No rear steer? Well, there goes another great concept. I notice no one complained about the entire car being full of nitrous so I guess that part of the idea is OK. R Fox

I think what Dan was trying to say is the rear steer has been tried before mostly unsuccessfully. I know cause I was one that tried it. The only high speed success that I am aware off was the Thrust

You know, actually, if you are careful how you place the steering wheel and seat, it could technically be a front steer, front wheel drive car that is driven backwards. I'm not sure I saw anything in
