Since you've spent 14 years auto-Xing, do you have any favorite websites or books you'd recommend on vehicle handling?
Good deal. You are correct in the definition and how it would be dealt with when a FWD car oversteers... You keep feeding throttle while countersteering. If done right, you drive out of the skid.

As for books on handling or autocrossing. Carrol Smith has written REAL good stuff, otherwise, be observant and experiment... Add to that lots of seat time.
