Part of the problem was that Scott had been racing Honda Civics
during the summer, so was used to correcting FWD errors. And given
the road surface, I don't know that opposite lock and more power
would have saved it once the slide started. What you couldn't see was
that we slid for a long ways on gravel off the road surface before
bouncing into the guardrail ... navigator's side of course.
