Started throwing a smoke screen on the straight but sounded and felt like there wasn't a huge difference (maybe some knock? hard to remember). Limped it back to paddock trying to stay off the racing line. Stopped to talk to one of the marshals when I came off the track and it shut off. IIRC it did start ok at that point and drove back to my parking space. After that if I hit the starter she just basically made terrible sounds.

I've been kinda guessing that it spun a rod. The only thing non-stock about the car engine-wise is the injen intake the PO installed.
