spun out

About a week ago i went driving at a once race track with a couple of my friends, one own's a Subaru WRX and the other owns a red 3rd gen rx7. This was at about 12:30 A.M, and I couldn't see much. Coming into a right hand turn I had the RX-7 behind me, and the WRX in front, I accelerated through the turn and the back swung left, i countered a bit to much because when the car came back right it swung to hard and didnt' grip, so I went spinning. I spun about 2 times and nearly hit my friends WRX. Luckily there was just dirt along the sides of the track. I figure next time I tail out that much, I won't counter as hard and let the car come out of the drift softer, I had to learn the hard way.

yah, you gotta be careful of that LSD on the 8... it's feels like it comes on pretty early...atleast in my car anyhow. the car gets really tight under maybe 1/2 throttle in 3rd gear...i've had my rear end start to break loose too under moderate acceleration while turning.
