Wow, that really sucks man. I'll retract my previous statement. I knew this would happen eventually but I honestly feel a little bad given you were going so slow. You'll know better next time! It happened to me in my MR2 Turbo once; I thought I'd give it a little extra throttle coming around a tight turn. The back end swung out and I couldn't regain control fast enough; managed to slide and just lightly bump the base of a tree, cracking my front spoiler. I'd been driving RWD all my life and several mid-engine cars, so I shocked myself when it happened. Maybe it's best to leave TC and ESC on until you get to the track/auto-x course from now on.
