Hydroplane and a 400ft (about 4 seconds) fishtail that I lost the battle with... and spun across the muddy centre divide ... ending in the oncoming lane - I stopped with my ass in the oncoming lane, clutch in by the time I stopped so I didn't stall and managed to dash back onto the middle swamp to avoid the oncoming traffic.(
ABS and active handling had me stopped as soon as I hit the concrete of the other lane.

It was a very stimulating experience  - but you just gotta keep a calm head and hope your instincts kick in...

I can see that being an underwear changing experience. Glad to see that the old Vette needed nothing more than a good bath.

Glad to hear you are ok and there wasn't any damage to the car! Close call for sure, someone in the opposite lanes in the wrong place and the wrong time could have changed that!
In a spin, both feet in!
