Jaybird.   That is true.  Once you have set-up your slide, you do steer away from the turn or countersteer to maintain the slide.  But, initially to get the slide set-up and to keep from blowing off the end of the straight-a-way, you drive in toward the inside of the track.  Of course it depends on the type of track and the surface.  There are as many different techniques as there are different types of tracks.   Driving a sprint car is very similar.  Watching a sprint car race you wil notice how they power into the corner at the end of the straight and then set-up their slide.  The power to weight ratio is very similar to a flattrack machine.

SFO.  Actually Ken Maely used the XL350 honda head design.  He used XL valves, guides and rocker arms but cast his own head.  I was doing some work with Ken at that time.  The engine was fast, but, would not hook up.  The only guy that was successful on it was Mike Bast.  Of course Bast was fast on anything.  I did hear that some reps from the Husaberg factory came to see what he was building.
