Engine stalled and wouldn't start

While launching, I hit some black ice and spun in first, shifted to second, and spun in second, hit the rev limiter (stock), and while shifting into third, my tires gained traction just as I let off the clutch to engage third gear. I floored it, and got nothing. RPMs went up and down really fast (like an electrical problem), then it all dropped to zero.

Pulled over. Tried to start it about 6-8 times and got *clunk clunk clunk stall*

After letting it sit for a minute, I turned the key and it started right back up. Runs fine, even on WOT.

Did I just flood the engine a little? There aren't any CEL's so I guess I'm fine right?

Why would you drive like that? Doesnt make sense why you would be shifting gears while you are spinning and wot.... But to each his own lol. But yea it's probably nothing serious like the others have been saying.

Because it'd be illegal to tase you, it's to punish you for doing just that...

^^ can't remember. Most likely I did. I probably just flodded it.

Now I still wheel hop in first even with my Ingalls. Might this BE because of my low tread?

That's a good way to snap axles and break a whole host of parts. Don't do it again.

Yeah, that's the worst thing that could happen. If you do that stuff and break an axle you can consider yourself lucky
