Racenut:  These dirt late models have a 4 bar link with a lift bar. You were not seeing an illusion, the Left wheel actually will pivot forward up to 7 inches, making the left side shorter.

Thanks 38lmcrew. Yeah, I was convinced that I was seeing the left rear pivot. I can see how shortening up the left side will help the car turn. I guess this is why the cars seemed very sideways even on the straightaways as well. It was great racing.

Anyone who missed the Prelude, it's being replayed on Speed right after the Truck race tonight (10:30). It's worth checking out.
