Congrats - glad to hear when folks get involved with AX or Road Tracks, these cars are so good at it. You have a mighty powerful car to be on an AX course, no surprise you spun it, teaches you throttle control in a hurry LOL. With an auto...did you try left foot braking? Works really well, you can control the throttle input and transition from brake to acceleration much better. If you continue to AX, a few things that really help: super sticky tires, agressive alignment and get a GC lock (its a device that goes on your seat belt that locks the lap belt so you dont slide around).
