How do you perform something as subtle as a shrug in a car spinning from 94mph??

haha actually spins usually aren't that violent. I mean once your officially a passenger and you stay on pavement and on 4 wheels its just kinda like slow and calm for the most part.

My spin at Road Atlanta was a full 360 spin and continue without stopping. I had the car sideways and when the elevation started to change it started to go. the second I realized the car was past the limited counter steering i had in the car I went in with both feet, when I saw the bridge I knew I was pointed the right direction and just threw it down a gear (i needed 2 but it was sequential gearbox so one was all i got haha) and nailed the throttle and it pulled out. The guy behind me kinda thought i did it on purpose cuz i was drifting and then big 360 and continue haha. He said it looked like I was doing tricks.

I was a little worried going into the dirt sideways that my wheel would dig in and the car would tip but all i got was a nice dirt and grass shower luckily. I was going about 50mph when i spun.
