Dang, you almost got me scared there that something happened. Good thing the car held up. With ABS it's almost safe to use brakes, you just have to remember the traction circle thing (more brakes - less steering and vice versa) - if anyone is interested in theoretical approach to handling curves I can elaborate on this

if its a ff drive car and you can see the turn coming, dont take it wide like most people would do... take it in tight as possible initate your e brake just enough to get the rear tires to knock loose, down shift to keep your rpms high enough while banking the turn. turn the steering wheel to guide you into the turn as hard as possible and when exiting the turn countersteer the car to grab traction as quicly as possible and your good to go!
