can't see the file, but........if you watch truck racing, they push about 5000 brake through their back wheels, are limited to 100 mph, and need rolling starts as anything below 20 mph means the power is just wasted in wheelspin

To be honest getting the arse end out on a truck aint that difficult really even on a normal road going truck so on something like a racing truck it would be a piece of piss to do
When i used to bus drive many moons ago the company i worked for bought a load of new 40 foot long single deck automatic scania buses that had an evil kickdown on the throttle and when i was running the last night bus out of manchester in winter it was very easy to get the back to step out on the wet roundabouts. Customers weren't very pleased but i though it was great

Used to "play" in my old scania top liner 420 bhp and god knows how much torque, in the rain fully loaded it would just spin its nuts off, going up hill from a standing start was a nightmare...
Tried to drift with a trailer on and needless to say it scared the shit outta me

That brings back some memories of when I was mechanicing at my local bus company - used to test drive the buses up the hill, to the roundabout and back down, it was about 6 mile round trip.
Bray the fuck off the bus up the hill, and then try and slide it round the roundabout (Scania series 3 chassis and a wright body were best for this) and then screw the fuck off it back down the hill, locking up all 4 wheels at various intervals
was a good crack

Also, blew the diff on a Dennis Dart - revved the fuck off it, and dropped it into "drive" on the gear selector (non-voith gearbox), and instead of the wheels spinning, it blew the pinion in bits on the diff I got a bit of a bollocking for that

they've got 5000 somethings though, i'm sure i've heard them quoting stuff ilke that on eurosport back in the day
dennis dart, plaxton body, a little bit wet, made beautifull squealing noises on them tiled/painted zebra crossings
or in the snow, put the front wheels up against a speed bump, stop, put your foor down, nice and controled wheelspin you could get the speedo to show almost 10mph
