I have done hundreds of races over the years, many of them at Laguna Seca, Sears Point, Thunder Hill, Willow Springs in a
highly competitive 125cc Shifter Kart class.

I need to strongly agree with the quote above, when the rears break loose you need to steer in the same direction and lightly decrease throttle until you have control and hope to GOD you don't get pummled by a tree or a guard rail. If you release bad things will happen, they will bite and snap you the other direction and then you need to hope to GOD you dont flip it... 90" wheel base 500hp careful guys.
