Bingo!  try this recipe:  
-  one Torsen-center equipped Audi with greasy marble tires (D60A2)
-  one quattro club driver school on a smooth-as-a-baby's-behind track
(Portland)
-  one downpour (brings the car's 10/10th level down to the driver's brain
speed)

for extra spice spice, add
-  extra air pressure to tires (as if you were set up for a hot track day,
not the rain)

last year, i found this combination.  those who were there may recall my
excursions.  this year, i (mostly) kept it well below 10/10th, just
touching (and catching) the 10/10th level once or twice.  

For those of you who haven't found this "spider," get yourself to a track
to find out about it before it finds you (on the street)
