Glad it was a soft spin and your okay, Hard spin= wall, car, ect. I am still finding rocks and things 4 years after spinning into the dirt at Button Willow, lost the back end going from the Truck stop to Riverside at 100 mph

Thanks, and yeah, I expect there to be a bunch of crap stuck in the defroster vent and ductwork until the dash comes off and apart. Even the top of the driver window seal had a good tablespoonful in the channel.
 
I had the exact same spin happen to me a few months ago in the same corner. Then I have had 3 spins off at Buttonwillow all at 100 MPH. When I tore out my whole interior over the past 2 months, I must have pulled 30 pounds of rocks and dust and crap out of the car.

Go to the end of video. That one was up there on the pucker factor. I threw it off to the right because if I went left, that would have been direct wall contact.

You handled that well, happy to see you’re ok and no catastrophic damage to your car or others. Having to polish & clean is a good thing, all things considered.
 
Lotta skid marks on that track...you guys weren't the only ones having a little trouble............Glad both of you came out with just some cleaning up to do instead of fixing$$$up. A couple of egos may have been bruised but I'm sure they will rebound!....;)...Give that dog a milkbone or something..............
