Stalls but starts right back up

Hey guys I'm sorry if this is inappropriate in the new member forum but it won't let me post anywhere else. My car stalls when doing donuts. Let me say that the only place I slip the clutch like this is in a parking lot of an old fish plant that was outside of town, the plant is torn down and there is absolutely no traffic there. I go there every now and then to swing the back of the car or do a donut or two. My problem is my car only stalls when I do a donut. A drift does not bother anything. If I turn for the circle when I complete it the car stalls. It starts right back up perfectly. Could this be a fuel issue. I had less than a quarter tank the last time I done it.

Fill the fuel tank. With fuel at or below 1/4 in a severe turn the fuel sloshes to one side and the fuel pump can't pick it up. If this happens at the wrong moment, you risk a lean spike, detonation and a damaged motor... Sooo fill the fuel tank.

Ok I kinda figured it. Does this mean the fuel pump maybe getting weak?
