I worked up the below explanation to explain turn rate and speed. It picks up where I left off answering Gestrich's questions. I only answered what is the relationship of speed to turning radius in my first post. It's really hard to explain this stuff using only words, so here is some math. I am not a whiz at this, I got all this out of an engineering textbook.
