I agree, everything I did was too slow there. I tried to go straight after the car was spinning and I put both feet in three fourths of the way across the track. We get told all these things to do when something goes wrong, but it is hard to put it into practice fast enough the first time you encounter it. I'd never spun before this and I had only had one four wheel off event.
All that said I am a little proud that in all that mess I was just too late instead of not doing those things at all.
Also, I am very, very happy to have a dirty car and a crazy video instead of what very well could have been a trip to the hospital.
