Turning circle of an oil tanker

I'd like to see him turn it round.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

A quick web search confirmed that this technology was spawned on the first day of the fourth month of the year.......

didnt relise that but it would work just fine its not like dragsters bother to much if the front wheels actually touch the ground much! sept maybee some provision more than 1degree of steering lock!
dont no if top fuel regs have a minimum weight limit? or a minmum wheel count!
if not this would have real benifits, lower weight could eisly save 10k and much smaller frontal area.
its not like they have to wory about front end grip.

even though there is a min weight, it could help by re-positioning the weight somewhere where it is better used, like the front, to keep the nose down (hmmm???)
