Not that it can't be done... I've seen a few munched differentials and a spectacular wipeout at the timing lights that cracked a Miata's radiator, for starters. Still, even if you do spin out (and you will, quite frequently), a course laid out according to SCCA rules has got plenty of runoff space and no other cars to worry about. Damage is extremely rare, especially in street tire classes, where there's less load on the drivetrain and cars aren't highly strung.
