Spridget driving is more rewarding than racing a 1966 VW Bug. When I'd lose
it, I just looked out the rear window; that's where I was going.

In reality, to paraphrase Yogi Berra, on the track I don't think and drive
at the same time. I just try to control the corner-after-corner wipe out
that is Spridget driving, and I do it by not locking the rear brakes. 

But I don't advocate disabling them - the factory engineers didn't build in
a whole lot of margin.

Let's move on to healthcare or something non-controversial.
