LOL, many yrs ago back at the academy we used ragged out late 80's Caprice's, hand-me-downs to the academy from the state police at the time... surplus/replace. I spun one a complete 360 coming out of a curve once. They had an EVOC track. Those were the days.

A lot of people do this, I did at one time. However, having a different amount of traction on front vs rear end can send you into a spin under bad conditions. Not advised.
