I used to autocross this car back in the day too. That wasn't as much of a learning factor for me, since I had been pushing the "grip" limits of my cars since I was 16. Basically the most it taught me was how to carry speed through a corner and into the next one, and properly hitting an 'apex'.
I actually used what I learned from drifting in autocross, mainly when they'd setup a 180 degree cone. Instead of coming in and hugging the cone to turn around, I'd just come in slightly too hot, brake hard to throw the weight forward, and turn. Zaboosh! Easily controlled slide around a cone. Unfortunately my emergency brake has never locked my rear, so I've never really been able to use it to initiate a slide.
