Default Help race tommorrow 85 won't start

I have a 85 vette was running great, 1 was heading home after entering race for tommorow. When it started to feel like it was running out of gas and stalled. Now wont turn over nothing not even a click. Installed new battery ran for a few seconds then died again. If any ideals would appreciate hearing them.

Check fuel pressure, make sure you have spark, and if the SES light is on check for codes.

Thanks found the problem,I actually did run to low on fuel I had cleaner in the fuel whitch I was trying to use up before fueling for race,but at the same time the starter went bad,probably from heat from the headers. THANKS AGAIN
