Default How many crash results can happen from this sequence?

We just went through a hairpin S turn, so my HC is in the crapper. I have to go straight (HC is -3)

The guy behind me shoots me. I take a control roll, and roll a 1. On the hazard table, I roll an 11. Then I roll on the crash table, and get... severe skid, lose 20mph.

phase 2, prior turn difference of speed and the new speed for me after phase 1 is enough for a ram to occur. I end up on the tables again, and lucky me I get a spin out. We adjust speeds, figure new positions (I'm pushed an inch forward).

Phase 3, I lose 20mph due to spinout again, oops... another crash, more damage., I get pushed forward again.

Phase 4... I lose 20mph due to spinout again, another crash now results.

phase 5 same thing

Did I do this right? Its a lot of crashing, I ended up with like 20pts of damage taken on 4 phases of crash results at 20mph difference of speed, and of course I lost all 4 tires. I would also think that if this guy is ramming me it might stop my car from spinning out and just lock us up? I was also rolling controll checks every time we hit, but I'm thinking once you are spinning out... thats it, no point in trying to see if you are going to roll an even worse result.
