I've found that it is often better to just let the car spin than fight it until you end up hitting something.

My best spin story was at the start of a wet race. I got a good start and passed a couple of cars, then passed about four more going into a downhill hairpin (this was at Pacific Raceways). Exiting the hairpin turn, I lost it and spun quickly. I knew that if I fought it and stayed on the track, I'd get collected by the pack behind me, so I put both feet in and cranked the wheel the wrong way, hoping to get all the way off the track. I'd like to say that I skillfully pirouetted the car 360 degrees and went on my way, but that wasn't the case. I luckily spun 360 degrees and went on my way! Of course all hell broke out behind me, so I'm pretty sure I didn't win the most popular driver award that race weekend!
