Autolock @ 100+MPH or emergency manuver???

So, I was on the track this past week-end at Rockingham, NC. (a fun story in itself).

This was a performance driving school where speeds exceeded 100MPH.

At the end of a couple of sessions, upon returning to the garage, I noticed the doors were locked. I do not have autolock enabled but the doors were locked. I did have an off road excursion where wheels may have locked.

Does anyone know if the car will lock the doors above a certain speed, or in a quick stopping situation regardless of the autolock feature that the dealer can program?
I don't think it's speed related, because I did exceed 100MPH on clean runs and the doors were not locked.

Maybe it's detecting a emergency situation and locking the doors.

The opposite should happen in an emergency... What happened does seem odd though...

An off-the-road excursion at 100mph probably pegged the pucker factor and sucked the door latch cables in along with the seat fabric, any loose change and BOTH floor mats.

Are you sure you didn't bump the toggle when you turned off the ASC/DSC?

I have Ian's Auto Up Circuit with Track mode. I didn't did touch DSC all week-end. I thought about the fact I could have bumped the switch, but twice in day when I can't recall hitting it before while shifting. It's obviously and that may be the answer.
