Well im on my way home from work today. Decided to accelerate a bit too hard out of a turn before the tires were 100% warmed up (i drove maybe 1/4mi) Anyways i catch a nice 180 degree spin luckily there are no cars around though so im safe. The car wouldnt start the first few times i tried to turn it over. Why was that?

As long as you didn't hit anything, like a pothole or curb, you probably don't have anything to worry about.

You definitely need a few HPDE's. Whenever you have totally spun out, just hit the clutch and brake at the same time. That way you won't stall.

When in doubt, both feet out; In a spin, both feet in.

Don't know how much truth there is to it, but I've been told that when you do a 180 and the car rolls backwards some without the clutch in, it usually takes a little extra cranking because the engine had been spinning backwards during the spinout.
