[Tigers] Torque Arm under braking force diagram?

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

Bob, 

Many thanks for sharing your rather sobering spinout experiences and the technical information. The latter is going to take me more than one read to understand everything, but I am getting the picture! I am thinking that the Tiger's short wheel base is not helping things in our particular application. 

I am inclined to enjoy twisty roads whenever found (and hopefully more autocrossing in the future). A potential unpleasant surprise under heavy emergency braking in a sharp corner is not something I want to risk. If I was just drag racing, or doing stop light burnouts, that would be a much different situation. 

Fellow Listers, 

I, for one, am still looking forward to hearing any experiences with the Caltrac system. It appears to only control axle rotation in the acceleration mode and the axle is otherwise unrestrained in braking. Seems like a good application for the Tiger, in theory at least.
