I like how your thinking, kind of like the flaps used in NASCAR that pop up when they go into a spin.

If I'm not mistaken, the "stabilizers" in NASCAR only deploy if you are backwards or sideways on the track. I'm thinking bigger picture, more like ABS or Auto 4wd which is making 100's of inputs per second to the wheels, this would just be done to the wing.
