So according to the above link I posted, in a sprint car, (believe me I don’t watch this stuff) if you gas it, it will spin like a top. So, given the legendary Tony Stewart had experience on this type of track and with this type of car and he sees this kid approaching from the right in an incredibly stupid and hot headed manner, if he gassed it, the car would spin and then turn the vehicle in a different direction, hence missing the kid (Tony had hoped). Is this not correct?
Turning the front wheels to the right and hitting the throttle should break the rear end lose and make it slide to the left.
“then turn the vehicle in a different direction, hence missing the kid (Tony had hoped). Is this not correct?”
Ya know,,,, I admit I’m not experienced enough to say what happens when you turn your front wheels in the “not Normal” direction. I raced karts on dirt, and did 15 laps in a friend’s Sprint car on an empty track. Stalled it twice. Everytime I gassed it, the reared slid up track. I never tried to get it to slide down track
Oh! And,,,, after 15 laps, my wrists hurt, and my forearms were just shaking! Gotta have much stronger arms than mine to drive Sprints! The ruts are murder! But dirt is so much fun!
