Frank,
Since I have modified my braking technique, the rear end sqerming has gone away.
That being said, you are spot on about braking with a little steering input.
A couple of months ago, I was dong full course VIR and running a very hot lap. Hotter than I normally run. Coming up the uphill S's, I brushed the brakes coming into turn 10 and the car was scary.
After the run, I asked the instructor who I had asked to ride along what he saw.
"You had maybe 5 degrees of steerig wheel input. You were at the limits of the car and just that little bit of input combined with the slight braking unbalanced the car."
5 degrees... holy crips..
Turn 10 is the most dangous turn on full course and 90% of all incidents happen there.
