Lifting the accelerator pedal slower and not just popping your foot off will make a BIG difference in control.

Cheers!
Good advise TimeLord, and the same principle applies to all other control movements; the idea being to control the weight transfer gradually between the four tyre contact patches; they are ultimately all that keep you on your chosen piece of road.
