Correct, the back wheels didn't actually lock up, that is what it felt like. You are all correct, weight pushed forward... I drove the correct line for the cobra, just lost nerve as I as coming up to the edge of the road. I am sure it would have stuck in retrospect, but things happen pretty fast out there and I thought what I was doing was the conservative thing, turns out it was pretty dunb, but I am smarter now.
