Awesome Drag Racing Close Call

That was not "awesome control"; that was "no control whatsoever." If you get that far sideways, the best thing to do is completely lock up the brakes (which apparently this guy did). You will continue going in the same direction you were going when you locked them up regardless of the angle of the car or the direction you turn the wheel. Then when you come back straight, you can let off the brakes and start driving again.

BTW, this will not work with ABS. If you have ABS in this situation, you're going into the wall. Just brace yourself for it.

Ok, carry on
