Engine blew

So I’m at the track, VIR, and my engine just blew at the top of the backstretch when I went wot. Does anyone know how to shift the car into neutral without starting the engine?

WOW~ I sure hope you don't get any grief from the warranty department!
Was it a broken Rod?
Did you have any modifications on the engine or drive train?

Good luck brother.

should be covered. No engine mods just brakes and tires. Will be a while before they find the cause.
