I drifted today!!!

I went to go drop off my girlfriend at work this morning. She works at the mall. Its raining over here in Los Angeles so the road is pretty slippery. There is this turn where nobody ever takes because its all the way in the back of the lot. I was in first then rev the rpm's and threw it into second gear. I think I reved it to much cuz the whole back end twisted . I froze and hit the brakes and did a 180. Where did I go wrong.
I froze and I didnt counter steer. I didnt even hear the tires screach. (Dont worry anybody there was no one there)I never do stuff like that when there are other people so no one can get hurt...Well maybe me?

Once the back end came loose, you should have counter steered and given it a little gas, not too much or you'll do a 180 anyways, but enough to keep the backend out. Then you just steer to go where you want.

The thing was that my front end was really close to the little cement divider. I thought If I would give it some gas I would smack into it. But you guys should have seen this turn. Its perfect for practicing a drift.
