Do you have a datalog I can look at? Or, a full res video of the in-car?

It doesn't look like the car got loose to me; it looks like you just dropped 2 and hooked across.

I absolutely agree; I was crazy lucky there. My heart sunk fast when I saw that wall coming up on me; it was approaching really, really fast. That the sand stopped me like that is frankly amazing!

I will get a full res video up in a little bit, I need to cut it down to the relevant parts. I also had harry's lap timer running but I don't know how to get the data off of it.

As far as the car getting loose, I can say with certainty that the tail end was stepping out, and the VSC did cause a minor tank slapper (this was well before I got over to the bumper). I wasn't trying to catch that but instead just ride it out as a learning experience. Honestly I don't know if that had anything to do with the actual spin or not; when the tank slapper started I let too much focus go to that and I didn't even realize I had dropped one or two wheels until I saw the video. This was only the second time I have been four wheels off.

I guess this really goes to show how upper beginner to intermediate drivers are the ones in the most danger; we know enough to pickup quite alot of speed but when shit hits the fan we are likely to come out a mess.
