Also, not sure how it is in your region, but we have a low tolerance for drifting (not saying you did) and have guidelines for spinounts. If you ever start to spin (beyond normal oversteer); don't try to ride it out or save it, just put both feet on the clutch and brake (or brake if its an auto). It works wonders and stops you decently quick without prolonging a slide/loss of control. Where you went off and were headed in the direction of a person going at least 25mph, that would be a big "no no" in my region and you probably wouldn't be allowed to run the rest of the day.

It's worked for me and others I know. It just prevents countersteer + countersteer + further loss of control. Just something to be mindful of
Remind me never to come run with you guys lol.. we had a little talk about drifting the next day (not due to me). And i didnt mean to take out the course worker, plus ot may be hard to see thats a tri-oval. Its slick river rock so a slide on the oval will just suck you down hill.

Maybe the conditions are very different where I run, but that seems way too low. I've been running 36/36 hot on the stock tires and that seems to work very well.
