	One thing I've found particularly difficult to do in autox's is
to brake and turrn with the Miata. Well, actually I thought I was going
to be awarded the "helicopter pilot" trophy for most spins! In previous
cars, when fully loaded up in a turn I'd been able to manage some kind
of braking without spinning, but with the Miata, the back end seems
to come around *so* immediately I don't have much of a chance.

	Any advice? Should I be thinking about altering my alignment,
and if so what would make the car easier to "catch" or predict?
