I know, it wasn't getting any traction... and it is a display of how an rx7 acts in the snow when slid.

This was me practicing actually.... I used to have a neon that plowed over snow no problem...

I think I did decent controlling the oversteer all night.

The roads were pure black ice here in ohio last sat...

It might be better to practice in a lot without a light pole, if you are learning. Especially when you start upping your speed.

I learnt to drive on the snow almost the same way your doing.
I was "practicing" on a pole also (sounds like a strippers lol)
I was going around it in circles both ways. For some reason, im better at it making right turns instead of lefts. I can be atleast 6-9 inches away from the pole in 2 rotations. Its also a good practice to learn how to drift.

You going to have to be careful around a pole though. I had so many close encounters with it lol.
