Mr. Andy, tell us that your post should be taken facetiously and that you're 
just a big joker!  Otherwise, your example of "what I learned from autox" 
rates as one the most reckless posts I have ever read on any motorsport 
forum. There is no such thing as a  "nice" four wheel drift around a blind 
corner on a public road and then add a distorted perspective that the other 
driver was an "idiot" and "moron" .....whew!

If Mr. Andy is serious, he does not represent 99.9% of autox'ers in our 
community.

Me too.

The other day I was in a nice four wheel drift around this blind corner
and some moron was turning left across my lane!  Needless to say there was
plenty of swearing going on, but with the throttle control I've learned in
soloII I was able to gently lift to get the back to rotote a little more,
then squeeze on the throttle to scoot by on the inside, just barely
missing the idiot.

driving closer to the limit washes us out to average)
