Hm, weird.  You know, I've noticed that a big mistake that many newbies
make on the track is too much input when trying to correct a spin.  You
really don't need much... I think that a lot of the reason you end up
snapping back the other way when you catch a spin is too much steering
input.  

Several people spun my S2000 (instructors!) on the track because of
that.  I stopped letting other people drive it on the track, after
awhile.  :)
