Chaplin,

I was going to respond to your post as soon as i dug those race technique books out of one of my bookcases but I cant seem to put my hands on them. One was Bob Bondurants book in paperback (something of a text book for his school) . The other was Skip Barbers book. they were very informative and really helped me understand intellectually, what I already knew "by the seat of my pants" and then some .

The spooky thing that really threw me was , while experimenting at fairly low speed (under 40) with "drift " through sharp corners , and using power oversteer, when the rear end would start to come around , if you got nervous and "lifted" the weight would transfer to the front on decceleration making the rear even lighter and It would try to get sideways even faster. A freaky experience when you are 'lifting" to try and gain control!

both were good reads and good referance
