Found out what "Lifting" means, the hard way at Blackhawk Farms Raceway

Unless you hit the brakes, I doubt the back tires locked.

When you lift, the cars weight shifts foreward. That adds weight to the front tires, but takes weight off the rear tires. They don't lock - they just lose traction.

Still, a very important lesson to learn. Glad you didn't hit the wall. If you don't spin it into the grass once in a while, you're not trying hard enough.
