VDC was off. If it was on, I'm sure the slide would have been tamed very quickly and never would have become a perpendicular experience.

As things started to break loose prior to the apex, I slowly added right lock. However, what felt like a little tail wag quickly escalated and I then put on the right lock as fast as I could. Probably more right lock early would have saved it but I just didn't feel it was going to 'go' that fast (prior to full slide).


On a side note, I really appreciate all the comments and insight. This post-track analysis is equally or more valuable than the actual slide experience!
