Major bummer. So, did you have dry or wet tires on, and, was the tack wet? Maybe you should've swapped places with the instructor and have him ride along instead.
sorry to hear about the set back.

YEARS ago now I had the back end slide out from me and just like you said it was a slow motion wreck into a guard rail. At first I thought no big deal it will stop in time. Then I realized we were still going, and going. AND GOING...... Then I thought I would only nudge it, ok now it will rub it a little bit, but it kept rubbing while the entire time in my head I am screaming "NO NO NO NO NO NO STOP STOP STOP STOP" - but it just would not stop...Thanks, it was the cliché “it happened in slow motion” moment.

did you have to pay for any track damage?
that is cool I guess after I started to add up the total of parts you were going to need I was reminded of this video....\Luckily my car took the brunt of the impact and spared the barrier.
Yeah, but you know "duct tape will fix that". I've had my share of spins (thank God I didn't hit anything) and it's the most learning/humbling you'll ever get. However, in your case the "driver" needed the education more. Best part, you're OK and the car can always be fixed. I'm curious if the "driver" offered to offset the cost of your parts. That's the least he could do.Luckily my car took the brunt of the impact and spared the barrier.
I am not sure which is worse if it was a friend or someone you at least knew or a complete stranger. I mean you both knew the danger yet I don't think I could do it and not offer to pay something myself.
