Sorry for the party foul, back to only having my phone.

He ran out of skill when he dropped a tire into the gravel. A few sessions of rallycross would've done him good.

Did he just lock the wheels up and never counter steer?

Seems an interesting question given your place of employment...

I used to get in trouble for doing that in the school parking lot in the mornings. Mine were a lot louder and smokier because it never snowed.
This is even about the right vintage of Chevy I drove. For some reason it used to eat tires and ball joints. Might be because my favorite show was the Dukes of Hazard.

It's a lot cheaper to do on the snow!
I tried to do a burnout for a magazine photographer in one of our V8 cars a while back. The car hooked up and I just about ran him over. No burnout pic for that magazine...
Although I did make it work for Autoweek. I'm not sure the boss was excited when he saw this photo. He made some comment about the cost of the tires.

"Hmm, I am starting to spin... Better lift off the throttle and make it worse"
I saw the opposite happen once. Turn in way too early and trying to power through led to terminal understeer and the driver just kept his foot in it for some reason. Ended badly.
If you're oversteering, apply more throttle to straighten out. If you're understeering, lift.
Oddly enough this is not drive end specific, works just fine for all three drive types.
(I didn't learn this from rallycross. I learned this from playing Hard Drivin' when I was about 8-15 years old. Best arcade game EVER)
