SR breaking up problem (with video)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7Eedyg2RLI
0:00-1:40 is about the same, so you can skip to 1:40ish if you're bored.

Having a new issue with my SR, started a month or two ago.

Last couple events, every once in a while the car would fall on it's face. I'd have to shut the car off, let it sit for a minute, then start it back up and it would be fine, ready to rip. It usually smelled like fuel after it would fall on it's face and die.

Can't seem to figure out what it is. Today, I replicated the problem on the street, and this time the car started back up immediately, when i restarted it, and then was fine again.

I'm running iridium plugs that are properly gapped.
Swapped out the ignitor.
Swapped out the MAF.
It's happened on the track drifting, road racing, and then also on the street when driving very slow/chill.
I can drive 100 miles without it happening at all, it's random.

I purchased some new coilpacks as a backups just in case, but haven't installed them yet.

Can anyone make sense watching the video? Does that seem like 2cyl or 3cyl to you guys? Can you think of any problems that go away just by restarting the car?

I'm running a nistune'd ECU.

Any advice would be appreciated, I've got a drift event to leave for on Friday.

Thanks,
Ben
