I have been following with interest the discussion on rear steering. I can't see in the rule book where it is prohibited. Can someone refer me to any applicable paragraph? Dan Wright Dept. of Human

Am I mistaken, or didn't all of this rear-steering talk start with "tongue in cheek" as a joke? Dick J __________________________________________________ Kick off your party with Yahoo! Invites. http

As I recall over the years there were three attempts at rear wheel steering not counting the Nobel jet car. I also seem to remember none getting to the first timing light even with the restrictions o

ahhh, I was waiting for the fork lift argument..... most fork lifts are set up with no king pin angles, the steering is almost 1-1, and the last time they saw a grease gun or replacement maintenance

So, what if you don't put the fin on the roof, but hang it out the back more like a rudder on a boat? __________________________________________________ Kick off your party with Yahoo! Invites. http:

Howdy, this might work a little better....but there is still the problem of matching the fin to the steering, with the over/under input troubles that may occur. too much fin and you slow down too....
