not mine- i was getting really loose by the second run and it was almost
undriveable as the tinest bit of trailbraking started some serious rotation-
which was fine on corner entry, but the wheel spin killed the exits. heated
the rear tires to 140 while the fronts were 95.  at oakland, stayed a nice
120 all around.

very strange handling- and ive noticed it there before.

so why is my car so loose there and most are tight?  not loose on 1st run-
felt good.  the starlet also reported heating the rear a lot more than the
front.
