thanks for the advice sadly it was last sunday so i'll just have to take your advice to heart for next season, i have to say its pretty much the most fun i've ever had but i didn't do terribly well, hopefully with more reading and seat time i can kick some scooby butt next time!

Someone mentioned left-foot braking or throttle lift to get the car to rotate, and this works really well and is really the only way to steer the car in some circumstances. The other thing to mention is if the rear end starts coming around on you, stand on the throttle and it will hook up and keep you from spinning. So really, weight transfer is the name of the game.
I wouldn't worry about hurting anything using your E-Brake, but I don't use mine. I don't have the ACD is the reason I don't use mine, but our E-Brake seems pretty anemic to me. I guess you'll just have to experiment and see if handbrake turns work for you.
Here's a couple links for your perusal:

Oh, here's a little taste of what you're in for:
