---my rookie mistake---next time the chute release is being relocated and my
hand will be on it....

It was very different than the three privious "twitches"---it just "turned hard
right"
After much thoughtand discussion:
1. The left front suspension broke before instead of
during the spin.
2. I caught a rut in the very torn up trap area
3. Driver turned the car to the right. possible but not probabable because
I was concrentrating on driving through to the chute and still had both hands
on the wheel--hadn't started the process of reaching for the chute.. On
Rose,Skip and I have always thought driving to the chute, then trans in
netrual, then off throttle was the saftest practice---what I have tried to do
in actual practice---
After taking to some much more experienced El Mirage drivers---I will put my
hand on the chute release once I have moved the trans shifter the last time...I
will be more "chute happy' from now on...
