I don't remember what it was; it was several years ago. My vague memory was a tricked-out RX-3, but I really don't remember.

Yep, the risks can't be overlooked. I consider myself a very careful driver and have only had 4 off once. It scared the hell out of me though. You can get over your head fairly quickly even when you think you're within your limits.

Read "Going Faster" by Carl Lopez. Then reread it. Excellent text.
