None of it makes sense, as how it's been explained... And "hitting a slick spot" and ending up under a semi? Everyone's being nice, but come on guys, on the other side of your keyboards you have to be wondering the same thing I am... This guy needs driving lessons...

Great way to sell yourself, Nathanial! 
*Laugh* Actually, it's a good way to sell your profession. You can keep up with people driving much faster cars after just a few lessons, and you worry less about ending up like this poor lad...
That said, anything could have happened. The rain probably didn't help and, from what I've observed at Solo2 events, sometimes a high-performance setup confounds drivers even more than one that isn't. They lose grip and start to over-correct a spin or slide... and are REALLY surprised when one doesn't happen and the car goes right where they pointed it.

Uh, lets review what's been posted by the original poster here and then review what I said... It doesnt' make sense... I drive a 500+WHP car every day and in most conditions... I've driven allwheel drive and rear wheel drive high HP cars for many years. I've also been teaching people how to drive on race tracks for a while. Porsche Club of America thought "enough" of my abilities on track that they gave me a national certificication for teaching others, so although I'm not the fastest, I'm damned sure not driving high performance cars under semi trucks either... I'm not selling anything other than my opinion of the "accident' as described.
