Car stalled after donut???

We went out to get our first pictures of our IROC yesterday and I wanted a pic with me doing a doughnut. Instead of driving out of the doughnut I hit the brakes to just stop and when it did the car stalled. What could have caused this? Maybe the car rolled backwards and stalled the motor? Its an auto though...

Cars usually require a steady diet of fuel & not sweets!

Yeah...After downing a donut or two, I usually kinda stall out too. Sugar crash or whatever



Sorry...

I have noticed that a lot of times in different cars, after a hard run or whatever, it'll die upon idling back down.

I am thinking fuel starvation, when you brake hard, watch your gas gauge, it will go towards E.
