If it was fuel starvation it would have re-fired. Once the car stopped doing donuts and the fuel level in the tank settled in like a normal 1/4 tank, it would have been like pouring in a couple gallons after running out. It'd fire right back up.

I'm wondering if it wasn't oil starvation and the car stalled out to protect itself. In high-G situations for long periods (even on some long corners on track days if you have sticky tires) the engine can experience oil starvation. Centrifugal force doing donuts for a long time could do the same.
