Is This Crazy?

I have often thought about installing a water sprayer for the rear tires. This is the first time I have ever heard of anyone else suggesting it. I even bought a whole windshield washer system from a junkyard, but have never gotten around to installing it. Has anyone done this?

The sprayer would loosen up the rear end for quick u-turns. I often have to do u-turns on rallies. It would be great because three point turns are a hassle on narrow roads. Other cars I have owned, have had hand brakes capable of locking up the rear wheels for the same purpose. I would use also the handbrake on an autocross course to u-turn around a pylon quickly. The Jag brakes on my Cobra does not have the capability to lock the tires, however. On rainy days, I can quickly spin the Cobra's rear end around with a quick clutch pop and not hurt anything. I am thinking the water sprayer would allow the same thing on dry roads.

The big danger, of course, is accidentally triggering the system at speed. I am thinking a covered toggle switch might be good. Adding an interlock that would prevent engagement in anything but first gear would be better. It may be crazy, but also a lot of fun!
