- I was sitting here wondering (or was that wandering?) at the keyboard. I know over the years there have been may spin outs. Has anyone ever counted the number of spins and the direction the spin star

- Don't know about all that fancy stuff... but Freiburger mentioned that he put his hands flat on the steering wheel rather then allowing his fingers to become involved with the spokes of the wheel as

- Mayf, Most all spins are the result of getting behind in your steering. You have a 50/50 chance as to which way that will be. Remember LSR cars can be very different in front engine, rear engine, lon

- Still and all, has anybody got real data? If the data show 50/50 that is ok, but what if it is not? With real data then you can make the analyses to determine what you said is real or not.

- Ok, so do you have any data? I am not rying to explain the why of it but how many and what direction they spin. So, got data? No? then all is mere speculation.

- Great video! From looking at just the first one, it seems that it is about 50/50 as to which way the spins go and it didn't seem to matter what the car or bike sidecar was. Interesting to say the lea

- Well list, as I have the best seat I think that most of the spins are after the 3 1/2 to the 5 mile. There are some coming up to the 2-1/2 but heck we even had a streamliner spin on the return road a
