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

Side note: isn't it amazing what our brains are able to learn and control without ever knowing what science we're actually manipulating? You can control a sliding car in the snow at 20 mph for fun, you can shoot a basketball through a net from 25' back and not hit the rim, you can keep your balance on a rocking boat, or you can be Rojo and successfully race a superbike without ever knowing what countersteering is.
