Search the white papers here, also google Crab Drive, especially Wildstang's site.

Crab sounds like a great idea, but if you've never implemented one before, be advised it's not as easy as it looks. Most teams successful with it built a prototype between the end of the last season and the beginning of the next season - 8 months? - and learned how to make it work while there was no time pressure. Your team might consider this approach.

One point: NASCAR doesn't use crab drive, why does your team think it needs to? Examine that question, and the answers might surprise you.
