Jeez SB! I spun a couple back in the day but was always lucky. I never put a ding in that SS - to my parents everlasting surprise, and probably frustration. If I had it might have been their excuse to have me get rid of it!
I never raced but I did seriously practice maneuvres, on dirt, in parking lots, etc., and especially on snow. I think we make such a big mistake not teaching people to how to handle a car under a little more duress. It saved me more than once.
