Watch a good-running car go down the back straightaway sometime- - - -with the left front wheel a foot off the track from engine torque! One of Dad's competitors back in the early 1950's ran a sedan body instead of a coupe like everybody else. He sat less than a foot ahead of the rear wheel. His frame was flexible enough to hold the front wheel off the ground the full length of the back stretch! Jerry
