I am a novice autocrosser - I've taken my 370 out only twice. I have had an experience both times that is puzzling. After several runs, I turned the VDC OFF. However, on my first run with the VDC OFF each time, I spun out. I think this happened because I was getting a feel for the car's limits with the VDC ON, but when I turned the it OFF, I pushed the car too far. Does anyone else have any experience autocrossing with the VDC On and OFF?

Also, after the fateful spin outs, the car reacted very weird. After spinning out, for the rest of the run, the car did not respond to acceleration. I gave it gas and it revved up, but the car wouldn't barely go. It was very strange. After I finished the run I returned to the grid and turned off the ignition. After restarting for my next run, the car was back to normal. If anyone has any insight on this, please share. Thanks.
