| Might be worth trying - with somebody else's forklift, at somebody else's track |

I've got an idea. It involves front-wheel-drive vehicles with rear wheel steering.
Yes, forklift racing.
The only form of motorsport where you are more likely to spin out on the straightaways than in the turns. These vehicles are actively unstable when driven forward, and have chain or hydraulic steering. Speeds would be quite low and you wouldn't need a long track.
The obvious hazard is impalement but we'll have to have a load on the tines.

That's almost exactly what I'm talking about, but I'd think you'd want a smaller forklift than that for racing!
