Fully concur. After the event I did walk the strip and found that the brown silt clay surface was interspersed with large granite lenses forming a naturally smooth surface. A locked wheel passing over such a lens was probably the friction catalyst initiating such a memorable ride. But that split second event has challenged my thought processes for years! Thanks again for the ‘heads-up' on the scientific issues.

New Bloke,

I guess there are a few others eligible for membership but we all probably prefer to remain anonymous on such lapses.
