Back in the sixties most of the fuel dragsters ran 25 degrees + or - and when they pushed down to the starting line to make the tight U-turn to stage the wheels would flop over like some of the "Ladies" in Wells, Nevada.
Enter the funny car era around 1966 with steel bodies and straight axles they ran darn near that much and into the early to mid seventies even with torsion bar suspension or coil over independant suspension, a lot of funny cars still ran a ton of caster. The results were often not pretty.
I watched Twig Ziegler (who was one to back up reeeal fast) end up looking like a turtle after the wheels flopped on the Pizza Haven Plymouth Satellite. It's pretty hard to look graceful when hanging upside down waiting for a dozen people to roll You back over so You don't break Your fu*king neck getting out.
p.s. How in the hell do I remember that when I don't even know what day it is anymore?
