45 degree non DFW - Help
When lifting this wheel really high to the point it cannot keep the car tracking on the center rail do the pros just consider enough steer into the rail by the DFW will keep it safe down then track?
Thanks,

Use a guide pin.

I would suggest starting with a standard car before venturing.

i wonder why anyone would raise the wheel that high? What would be the advantage?

I've often wondered that myself but still haven't learned the advantage. If I was a betting man my best guess would be that it shifts the weight further towards the "triangle of stability".

Never tried it and highly doubt I will until I learn what all this little trick entails. A thought just popped in my head typing this that I hadn't considered before- maybe the extreme angle allows for a cleaner stream of air to hit the rear wheel on that side. Just speculating.

Pull you into the rail, and you could back off the steer a bit??

I think it could reduce the drag some also, wheels on the ground have more drag than wheels in open air.
