I have to disagree about the "two off" and even "four off" Racing is about
pushing the envelope. To plush the envelope it is necessary to explore the
limits. It is very possible to maintain control and go two or four off
because for a brief moment at a certain point you found you were going to
fast for the conditions. I believe that there is a very big difference
between being "out of control" and "driving you car off of the pavement"
because that was the "safe and incontrol" thing to do at the time and under
the circumstances.
