I believe that I was at this event, if this was at South Suburban
College, was it?  The neon I'm thinking off was coming out of some offset
gates, getting ready to go into a left hand turn, but came out of the
offsets *really fast* and ended up on two wheels somehow (that lot wasn't
too smooth).  That front tire was probably up a good foot in the air. 
Good thing the driver (brian?) gave it up.  It probably would have gone
over.  Everyone who saw it near me were holding their breaths, and
everyone let out a big sigh when it came down.  Kind of scary from the
outside, I DON't want to know what it feels like on the inside!
