WTF did my engine do?

I stopped to get gas and when I hit the clutch in to slow down and take the turn into the gas station my engine started reving from 2800 - 3200 rpm and back really fast and didn't stop until I turned the car off and restarted it, anybody know what in the world made it do this? It's an 85 gslse. thanks

I am waiting for the first snow. Which should be early december i think, mainly because i live in NC. But when it does snow you will see me on the news, i'll find a tv camera crew and start doing doughnuts behind them while they are broadcasting.
