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

[Jimbocobra]

So... don't take your foot off the gas on a high speed bender (turn 2) mid-turn doing 85MPH pulling 5500 RPM. I missed the memo on that. The back wheels locked and the back end popped out. Four fishtails later, I couldn't save it and then did a couple 360's, the second one was in the grass. Good news, no damage or injuries, bad news - had to change my shorts!

I talked with a pro who saw it and he explained what "lifting" was. I got back on the horse, stuck the turn next time, but lifted again later on turn 5, fished-tailed wildly again several times and went off the track in the weeds.

I finally started to figure it out, just in time for pouring rain, but like an idiot - I went out it that too - earned some applause and respect from some other drivers, but I might as well have been on ice and found the grass again.

After a long day and tons of track time, I learned an awful lot. Then I drove the car home in a thunderstorm for an hour and a half - nonstop rain!! and smiled the whole way. I'll post pics as soon - what a day!!!!!
