Having at one time owned and operated an actual tractor (Ford, vintage  
1950's), I'd have gone with Steve's suggestion of "Plowing" or  
"understeer".

A GOOGLE search, however, indicates that I've fallen behind in my  
terminology. It turns out that "tractoring" is what a "tractor beam"  
does -- i.e. it pulls other objects toward itself with an invisible  
force.

What consequences that might have on the race track is left as an  
exercise for the reader.
