Since I'm a novice in racing, this may be silly question, but:
Besides a rear wheel slide the grab causing a high side, is it also possible to high side by forcing a turn transition too abruptly?
By this I mean, I'm in a left hand turn passing someone on the outside. It's the sweeper turn 8-9 at Jennings. I figure, going 88ft/sec. you only have a few seconds to finish the pass and position for turn 9. In countersteering from a left turn (8) to a right turn (9), if one were to force the bike too abruptly, is the combination of the bike snapping up and the rider transitioning his body weight/position enough to throw the rider?

Just a thought I'm searching for an answer to.
Thanks for your help.
