I have seen this happen to quite a few guys.

I realize with the short wheelbase of a Cobra that it can swap ends a little easier than a bigger car, but jeez...he never got out of the gas. Almost seemed like he wasn't paying attention.

Thats what happens when you decide to be a hero and stay in the gas when you are spinning. Short wheelbase and not letting out of it did him in.
No driver mod, that was terrible. How the hell do you lose control of a car going 30mph?

Nice. Looks like he turned out of the slide just a hair, certainly not enough to correct and never lifted. Then he looked back at the starting line like "WTF?!" This often happen when the "money vs brains" scale leans heavy on the side of money.

It doesnt help when you dont line up in the grove.
After he fixed the car from not knowing how to lift when the car gets sideways, he went road racing.
I sure hope not.
