OK, this is somewhat off topic, but years ago I was in the towed vehicle
when we were taking a race car to the track. The towing vehicle was a
pickup, and the car I was in had 10" slicks all around. It towed just
fine, but out of boredom I started fooling with things, and noticed that
I could steer the truck that was towing by use of the steering wheel in
my vehicle. So, I'd wait till we were nearing a telephone pole, and
start aiming the truck for it, letting off at the last moment. Of
course I played dumb about the whole thing. I wasn't asked to be safety
driver for the pit crew any more...
