Default my V-Spec blew up



yup, just got home from racing. Was doing well until it flamed out and could not be restarted. Took it to the pits and pulled the motor. The rod is bent and where it connects to the crank was shattered, and all the crap went through the engine. The motor was heat cycled, only has 1.5 gallons on it, and never been over 260*. I take car of my stuff and it did not over rev. I am not sure what year model it is, but it has the silver backplate. Completely stock. Cannot figure out why and how this could have happened.

I will be calling OS tomorrow, hopefully they can help. I have not looked at parts for it yet but I am guessing it would not be worth it to rebuild it. very disappointed at the least what a shame.
