hey Ed, I've done that before...and I peed on myself the whole run..

I'm used to it. Until I got my Santuffs it was a too-common occurrence.
Gary Emmons has Santuffs and still does it. LOL

yes

with my high 1.1x to low 1.2x 60 footing car, the difference between tripping with the front vs. the back tires is a tenth.
