It was a long crank to start it after the spin but it started up and seems to be running fine now. I am guessing that one of two things happened. Either:
1) I was too slow (or hell, maybe I missed the clutch) putting both feet in and the engine either stopped or ran backwards or
2) the car detected "Crazy bad shit happening"(tm) and turned everything off in a sense like the fuel pump cut off impact sensor. I don't know what all triggers such safety/anti-fire mechanisms but this was a flat spin from 100 Mph so the car was subject to quite a bit of force. One of the strange things was I don't think there were any lights on in the car at all when I came to a rest.
