Ouch, It can happen to any of us. If I have an issues it is usually because I am in the ditch and it was self inflicted. You are walking and talking. Deal with the car later.

That was me on the Tail of the Dragon 2 years ago. I pulled one out my butt and saved it. I thought I was a gonner.

I can always drive my old Eclipse for the time being. Won't be as fun though.

I wish I would have had your skill (luck).

Let me ask you this. Did you counter steer into the slide and the car snap back
the other direction? IF so, it was the dang Yaw sensor. There is a video of this on my YouTube channel (Spooler). It is around the 6 min mark. It is the one with the Oops. Yes, I got it on video.

Glad to hear you walked away from this.

With the VCS on. The car will do some weird chit. Going through a turn and the rear starts to drift out. The VCS will apply a rear brake to straighten the car out. 9 times out of 10 when it happens. The car is pointed in the wrong direction.

First time it happened to me. I was doing a trackday with an instructor with me. He accused me of hitting the brakes. I told him it wasn't me but the car. He didn't believe me until I showed him the video. My foot never touched the brake pedal. It was still on the gas. From that point on. It has been off. Now I can shut the YAW sensor off completely.
