Default REALLY bad powersteering problem

It was wet outside, so me and some friends went to the local elementary school parking lot to do some donuts, well, i was doing some mean *** donuts, i mean my car was spinning but not moving out of one spot, it was great, and then i heard a POP and i have no power steering, the belt is still on, except when I got out, i heard a sizzling noise like when water touches something hot, anyone got ANY clue what i broke?

If you had the wheel cranked all the way, there is a valve in the pump that relases the pressure... And considering you had the revs up, you may have blown it... I havent ever heard of it happening.. but if there is no fluid on the ground... then its internal.. take it to the dealer if you so desire.. hehe

If you can, throw some water on the ground before you do your donuts. Takes alot of the stress off your car
