A racecar, typically a non wing sprint car, that has under steer, or is tight

Tight racecars don't turn when you want them to. Also referred to as "pushing"
It's a common symptom that is easily corrected with mechanical input through various means.

Cripe-tight racecars are built and set up by one certain mechanic that thinks cars should carry the left rear entering the corner and forces the driver to over drive the car and make him uncomfortable.
"Man, did you see Kejon qualify? He was pushing like a dump truck on one end and biked hard on the other end"
"Yeah I did. It was hard to watch. He was CRIPE-TIGHT!"
