“Understeer” is when you go off locking eyes with the corner worker.

“Oversteer” is when you go off locking eyes with everybody behind you.

“Track Quiet Time” is what comes from the passenger seat on the way back to pit road.

“Weight Penalty” is from the 40 pounds of fresh dirt in the car now.

I always liked the definition I heard at my first PDE:

Understeer is when you see the tree in front of you.
Oversteer is when you hear the tree behind you.

What Trees? Never seen trees near a track around here, but love the quotes. Maybe we should sub in Gecko perch, rattle snake gorge, or ugly rock flat.
