This was before my time, but I could never figure that trend out. Did they handle as poorly as I imagine?

Very simple- weight transfer, back when no sticky tires were available. It all started with the Ramchargers' mile-high '50 Plymouth at an NHRA Nationals (1961?). Anybody got a photo of that to post here?

Flint's "Industrial Mutual Association" had what was called "Safetyville". It was minature town and you drove around in low speed go-carts, learning safe driving (and pedestrian) habits and the rules of the road. It was, as you have guessed, a blast. My sister was able to do a tour of the GM Proving Ground when I first started working there. Her first observation was "...jeez - my brother works at 'Safetyville'....". K

Thanks for the Ramchargers photo Keith. Maybe I was wrong- they might have debuted the Altered Plymouth at a Detroit Nationals, '59 or '60?
