It seems to me we might be missing some variables with the setup
since there are variable results. Possibly different front or rear spring
rates or maybe brake pads and type of tire.
I'm going to throw in another idea. Anyone look at Air Ride technology for
the Tiger?

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.
