Here --- Let me explain it to you....


When I go hard into a corner at speed and I stomp on the brakes while turning in -- the weight transfers to the front - and the rear loses grip -- which makes the ass end of the car swap with the front end of the car.

I don't really care about the technical details or terminology.... I have a real good understanding of what to do, and what not to do, to get around the track. Ron Sutton explained it all to me -- "be nice to the tires". Good enough.
