William F. Milliken, Jr. went to a fancy school and got himself some fancy book-learning. He scienced, he airplaned and he racecar... ed. His contribution to racing technology has helped countless Hondas and Scions crash. This is just a tribute.

Upvote anything Milliken.

Uh, correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't RCVD say that camber thrust is generally negligible compared to the lateral force exerted by the tire?

This looks so cool.

We're having whiskey with Boesky and cookies with Milliken.

Of course this is the one time Kinja image annotations actually work.

Well, the idea behind the car was to sew together two motorcycles leaning into opposite direction turns.

I'm sure camber doesn't help very often with regular car tires, but with the motorcycle tires here, maybe it works.

Sometimes you've gotta do it, like on this Formula Hybrid car. IIRC if they didn't have the tires at a 45-degree angle, the car skated all over.

I submitted a post to an automotive lifestyle forum.

I'm just seeing if using different calculators will change the outcome.

That way you can Tokyo Drift around every corner!

What?

It's well-documented that Milliken only made his car to pick up loose women at impromptu Wal-Mart parking lot car meets and donut contests.

The roll hoop makes it look like a speedy pyramid.

Coolest tomb ever.

An automotive engineer wanted to harness the lateral grip of a motorcycle leaning into a turn for use in a four-wheeled vehicle.

So he tipped the wheels of the car so that each side resembled a motorcycle leaning into the other. This apparently worked.

Pshh no way man. That only works if the car is low enough that it will scrape on literally anything

I like that!

I have talked to Milliken, but never had cookies with him.

I has a sad.
