As for hot-rodding it, I've got a nice clip of me spinning the car 180
deg on its axis. I was running some practice laps on a converted ICR2
Long Beach, and spun out coming out T7 (end of second straight). I
didn't touch the walls, and found myself pointing backwards, staring
straight at the pack coming up hard at me. I just hit reverse, got up
some speed, and cranked the wheel full to the stop. This brought the
nose around 180 deg, as it should in real life. I kept my position, but
lost a few precious seconds in that goof. (Great physics model! But keep
the kid stuff on the drag strips. Say "No!" to holeshots. )

And by the way, holeshots have won many races for many drivers! Try
watching the real thing for a change!
