A Body Rack and Pinion Converison

You fellows ever hear of anything called bump steer, or Akermann compensation angles? There are rigid laws of suspension geometrics. Ignore them at your peril.
I watched a guy at the track last year who had a setup just like the one I'm looking at in these pictures, who only escaped shiny side down by a miracle. He hit a dip in the track just past the timing lights at over 120. He said it felt like a giant had grabbed the steering wheel and whipped it from side to side. Scared the crap out of him. Very lucky that's all it did. I can tell just by looking at these tie rod angles that this setup is a out by a mile. I'm sure the owner won't appreciate these comments but if it saves his life I suppose it will have been worthwile.
