I think the fronts loaded up at the bottom of the hill, and as they unloaded, you can see the front go light, and cause understeer or too much steering input. When the front end came back down, snap oversteer even though you are still going uphill. I was really impressed with the speed you guys carry into such fast turns though. That was a thrill.

Oh, nice save too. One thing we are blessed with out west, is most of our tracks don't have much in the way of walls on the sides to damage the car.

Man, I was saying.."don't hit the wall, don't hit the wall!!!" Glad you didn't.

So, what should he have done, not take foot of gas??
