Damaged motor
Spark plug was hit
Three holes in both sides of the block
Lots of metal
Parts also came out the bottom of the oil. 9 years 10 months of track miles. It was good, until it wasn't.

What's your thought on the area of initial failure, wrist pin section of the rod? Or do you think it originated in the valve train (didn't see any pics of damaged head(s))? Looks like she was revving pretty good when it let loose and happened quick.

It could have been worse. Car up in flames, etc. I hope you had 10 years of enjoyment, life is short. And I hope it doesn’t hurt the pocket book to much.
