Cool, I don't know the full science behind it but I do know what it feels like. Sometimes you have to turn right to go left... but it sometimes needs adjustments, so you end up pulling back some of that oversteer by turning left slightly to keep the rear from swinging around too far.

I learned that 20yrs ago doing doughnuts in the tobacco warehouse parking lot. Dirt guys know all about this already.
