I'm not fast, so I'll leave the racing/track questions for someone else.
this is only the case if you have a working steering lock side to side. Unfortunately for me my track bike does not so I'll always need to be conscious about that.

was this in an empty parking lot? because my older brother fought something similar and won ages ago, though that was control over a motorized vehicle in inclement weather. He was having fun using the ice covered lot as a skidpad and argued that he was attempting to learn how to properly react to an icy situation in an effort to be safer on the roads.
