Default What causes fish doing

If there is fluid on the track it will send you into a rail.

All good responses but w/o more info I'd chalk it up to inexperience.
Lined up outta the groove, spun a little-car got outta shape, you straightened it out for a second, or so you thought-punched the throttle-tires bit the sticky track but chassis was upset and sent you into the wall.
It's not like getting it sideways on the street and spinning it straight-once the tires bite the sticky track surface the car better be straight, weight transferred efficienty, stable and not upset. If she bites, she's bites and there's not much room for error.
If you sway-get out of the throttle and coast thru-figure out what went wrong then try again the next pass.
