that's some scary, um, stuff; glad to hear you are okay.
avoid the brakes in a corner in an emergency situation; step on them and you will immediately lose traction in back and get the rear end going in ways you don't want it to. faster you are going, the more likely you'll get the ass end around.
best thing to do is stay on the gas. or, if you let off the gas *gently* you can get the car to "suck in" to a tighter line. let off too abrubtly and you'll break the rear end loose.
good way to practice how the car sucks in is on a lonely on ramp, below the limit.
if you lose control completely & can't get it back, slam on the brakes and the clutch (which keeps the driveline from making the motor run backwards and keeps the motor from stalling.)
