This is as good as it gets in terms of a lesson in saving a fwd car losing its rear-end: stay on the gas, drive with your head and hands...easier said than done.

Man that's impressive. I'd be heading to the dressing room to change my pants.

I've brought spins back worse than that in autoslaloms but never on a road course. I follow the 'both feet in' rule for much milder angles at road course speeds. BTW at slow speeds a cltuch pop in first or second will usually achieve this. I did '90 and back' once at the DDT in rain. I was so pleased with myself but when I got back to the pits only one course marshal had seen it because everyone was hiding from the rain.
