Believe me-- I wanted nothing better than to make it to the next turn without a trip into the dirt. First time for me driving that car, first time driving the track, and I was having too much fun-- I came in too hot and quickly found the brand new brakes installed the night before were biased too far rearward. I was back on the throttle as soon as I scrubbed off as much speed as I possibly could, but I ran out of steering and couldn't get enough weight to shift to the back to keep the rear from coming all the way round on me.
It did make for a nice series of pictures though right in front of the professional photographers (I didn't realize until about half an hour later when they had the pic printed and out in front of their trailer for all to laugh at.) They captured the entire series of the car coming in hot and sideways, then very sideways with opposite lock, then exiting to the inside of the turn and plowing a little dirt.
I was just glad I didn't hurt the car... it's not mine!
