[Land-speed] YAW Control

[dan warner]

If you have a "spin prone" streamliner you need to look at other areas. Get a
new piece of paper and sharpen your pencil.

You're right Keith --- for normal cars.

I was thinking about Streamliners and some have been built with the driver
just
behind the front axle. In a 30 foot long car, this doesn't give the
driver's butt much
yaw feed back.

How well the drivers butt has been trained is, in my opinion, critical.
Drivers
whose
experience includes Saturday night at the Fairgrounds dirt track stand out in
their
ability to handle spin prone cars.
