Wes,
       As in the one spin I experienced at Bonneville, once the vehicle 
starts around you're pretty much a passenger. The van was spinning so fast 
that I had no idea what direction I was going until the car came to a stop. I 
probably had my foot on the brake from the initial impact which undoubtedly 
didn't help things........Doug
