At least you and the car is okay....
How does spinning out mess up the running of your engine? Oil starvation? Or something else?

Here's the video:

Well the centripal force of spinning will make the gas slosh to one side and since I run with 1/8 tank fuel starvation comes into play. The fuel pick up will now suck in air and my engine stalled even though I had both feet in on the brakes and clutch. And then I tried starting the engine and it didn't start since I had to prime the fuel pump again.

It can also happen to oil and coolant, but I would think the effects would be more damaging.
