Falcon

I've got a set of Falken tires on my truck, rated at almost 400 treadwear. Perfect for Las Vegas summer. Thing about hard compound tires, though - very bad in the rain.

Turning from Warm Springs onto the south part of Amigo, I noticed a bunch of water covering the roadway. So of course I popped the gas to spin the tires and coat them with water. This was in the middle of the corner.

Once onto pavement I popped the gas again to break the rear end free. That of course gave the back end some momentum. More so than the front end. Cool. Jacked the wheel around to the left quickly and left go of the gas. That, of course, is only one way of pulling out of the slide. And not necessarily the best.

Thankfully I knew what I was doing and had the front wheels pointed the right direction. Just swung out of the slide and kept going.

I doubt the guy behind me was impressed, but it entertained me.
