In 1973 when I got my '66 camperbus I used to practice breaking loose the rear end going around the "gloriettas" or in less colorful language, traffic circles in Stockton, CA. I had 185x14" radials of low quality. I never came close to rolling the vehicle on dry streets. I once did two near perfect 360s in a row around a glorietta about 50' in diameter with five people in the bus who spent most of the time hanging on or tumbling. I found the key to safe sliding is making sure you break the rear end loose before the lean gets too radical. War Stories - gotta love'em... Jeffrey Olson Saner and Safer in Seattle...
