Either way, you got off easy with the lazy spin to driver's left and into grass. Good work.

VDC was off. If it was on, I'm sure the slide would have been tamed very quickly and never would have become a perpendicular experience.

As things started to break loose prior to the apex, I slowly added right lock. However, what felt like a little tail wag quickly escalated and I then put on the right lock as fast as I could. Probably more right lock early would have saved it but I just didn't feel it was going to 'go' that fast (prior to full slide).

On a side note, I really appreciate all the comments and insight. This post-track analysis is equally or more valuable than the actual slide experience!
