33 to 40 guaranteed that guy was a race car driver.

You don't learn that move anywhere but a race track! When a car is coming at you at 70 MPH you learn to get off of the track quickly!

Tongue weight, tongue weight, tongue weight people!! Lets keep it safe out there!

I was also impressed with how fast he got off the road.

Many,many moons ago while we were just dating, we went on an outing with another couple to Catalina island. It was about a 100 mile drive to Dana Point and then a 37 mile boat trip. The trip to the island worked well, trip back was bad ,very bad.
We left to late, it got dark and my friend decided compass was wrong and he started heading to far north. While on the way back south we stopped to try to get our bearings as there was a lot of discussion about which way to go.He was putting it in and out of reverse to hold our position and the transmission broke. we were dead in the water, lost and in the dark and being pushed towards shore. We were going to be surfing.
we were able to raise someone with the CB and he went to the pier we could see and he could see us blink our lights. He called the Harbor patrol and my wife's parents. She was going to be late getting home. The harbor patrol towed us into Newport harbor and the sheriffs drove my friend down to get his truck and trailer about 30 miles further south.
Loretta was chosen to drive as she was the most alert. On the freeway the 25ft boat begin wagging the dog. It was a half ton and the trailer had no brakes and the freeway made a sweeping turn and the boat was doing it's best to keep us going straight. My friend started yelling at her to hit the brakes and she used the gas petal. The swaying stopped and she slowed down after the turn in the road. It almost was the final glitch in a bad trip.
She was used to pulling her horse trailer and had listened to all the advise on "what if's" and she did the right thing.
