Until my rule book(s) arrive I'd be interested to know if aero-steering is allowed in lieu of angular movement of tire/wheels for unlimited streamliners?
Playing Devil's advocate here..... But there was a rear steer LSR car that went 763 MPH. Of course it did have computers to help with the control.
Thanks everyone for your responses. Rear steering is not something I'm advocating for, just asking to learn all my options. My body design has such a narrow front there's no room for conventional steering. The max I can eek out with M/T 24.5x7.5x16 tires/wheels is 6 degrees lock to lock from a leading pivot wheel frame section. I'm designing a fore and aft front wheel arrangement similar to Speed Demon and others. I'm thinking at a modest speed (say above 150 mph) a vertical nose fin should provide adequate surface area to control L/R steering movement of the liner. Anyone ever tried that? Thanks...
