Thanks Don,
I'll check out the Supercamp, sounds cool. Bit far away for me, but
I fly cheap anyway. I'd like to follow one of Keith Code's courses
as well.

If I read your comment about brake sliding, the transition must be
from nearly locked up (turning too slow) to spinning too fast, right?
So while locked up and sliding, dump the clutch while releasing rear
brake, rear wheel in low gear will suddenly spin up towards a powerslide
and hopefully will not gain traction while doing so, then finish the
powerslide by staying on constant throttle. Correct? Sounds tricky
indeed... ABS on front wheel only then for racers? :-)
