We got to experience how easily the T-16 slides sideways on pavement when doing a turn at speed. It can happen with no warning and really will surprise you at how far it will travel due to forward momentum. Makes sense after thinking about the track links turning into skids when in a turn. Easier for them to slide than to grab the slick pavement and keep you on course.
I think you should go for it Andrew and drive to the event if you can line up someone else to ride with you and serve as a ground guide and traffic coordinator. Someone with a truck could probably tow you if needed in an emergency since the carrier would roll easily on flat ground.
