Reminds me of that vid where the corvette owner understeered the corner and lost control smashing into a judge.

Well, what's happening is, that's a tight 180 degree turn, which I happened to completely blow out my *** on this particular run. I downshifted to first and got on the gas too hard mid turn and had a bit of oversteer. My wife just happened to catch it while it happened. I think this ened up being my slowest run of the day actually LOL

Wow, that video is crazy, I can't even tell what he was trying to do, it almost looked like he steered towards those people.
