How is the car's balance, tending towards understeer or neutral?

It's actually a very simple mount consisting of two pieces of thin-wall electrical conduit, and is very loosely mounted to help it absorb vibrations. This track is really poor quality. I have another vid of me at Cal Speedway, but the mount wasn't set up the same.
The more rigid I made the mount, the worse it got, to the point of shaking the piss out of the camera over the smoothest of roads. The little bit of movement this way gives you an idea of speed, and the shakes won't be as noticeable with a remote microphone.
I was surprised to find the car was actually pushing, at least on the low speed stuff. All this time I though it was tail happy, when in fact it's just been me causing throttle oversteer.
