Maybe your right...didn't seem like that much. I guess it all happened so fast.

Looking at it again, I think it was from the time right after you're out of view up to the point that you're in view again.

I was thinking about why that happened this time while it's never happened before. It had to be a combo of the 2 things changed since my last mountain run:
1. took the wing off - we had to be doing a good bit of speed. I was in 3rd then so at least 60+. The wing would have helped keep the rear planted better...
2. different tires/rims (all around but applies mainly to the rear) - these tires have less contact patch, higher profile and are harder than the previous set of 711's (at least the rears are harder).

So w/ this said, I'm going to put a stock style wing on. I have one w/ a trunk (no un-necessary holes to deal with!) and would have already put it on but it's white! I've already planned on getting some better tires...
