Question here: _If_ this were to happen and one could keep their head about
them during the event, what is the best way to "bring 'er back down" safely?
I'm assuming that this might only be a problem at higher (45+mph?) cornering
speeds when sharply cranking the wheel for a right hand turn and on sticky R
tires? I'm going to assume again that street tires would tend to just slide
rather than stick and therefore shouldn't cause this potential problem? I
too fall in the 250 (ahem) pound range and really would prefer to keep all
four tires (well, at least 3) of my Neon on the ground and the shiny side
up.
See you on course.
