turn into the corner.
You're taking all the fun out of it! Brake /all/ the way in and
power /all/ the way out! :-) And if that's not working, dirt track
it! ;-> It may not be the fastest way around the corner, but it's
exciting as hell, both to do it and to watch it.
It's pretty hard to dirt track it with 98 HP in a 2130 lb car. The
only way to spin it was to still be braking when you turned in, though
it could be trail braked if your feet were narrow enough to be coming
off the brakes and putting on the gas at the same time. I could do it
with one foot, but pressing on the gas with your heel made matching
engine speed to downshift difficult. So I usually shifted then got on
the gas entering the corner.
