How to use "Hit the skids" in context?
When most people think of hitting the skids, they think of a car careening off the road and into a ditch. However, in the world of drag racing, skidding refers to a performance maneuver that can be used to gain an advantage in a race. When a car is stuck in a slide, it risks spinning out of control. However, by using the turn-in point as a launching pad, the driver can accurately guide the car into a tight slide while maintaining control.
The key to a successful skid is precision. The driver must anticipate the next turn and take the car through it at the right time.
