I need help! Stuck at Summit Point with BLOWN M50 :(

[dude8383]

Hey guys, I desperately need help!!! I am at the Summit Point Raceway in WV and my build motor died on the first lap, actually... I didn't even get the chance the complete the full lap. I was thinking it was the head gasket but...turned out to be a lot worse :(

Check out the carnage:







I am 300 miles from home with no tow vehicle. I need to be towed ANYWHERE off the track so I can pick up the car with my own trailer some time later. I would prefer to be towed to NJ or NYC area, but anywhere in the northern direction would be incredibly appreciated.

I'll be at the track all day hunting down a ride but please contact me directly @

347 291 1575

Again, any help would be HUGE right now.

Denis

Sorry to hear Denis. Maybe sign up for triple A and get a tow out of it? Hope you find someone bro

Hey guys, thanks for the help/advice.

My buddy was able to drive down from NYC and pick me up earlier today. Betty is home safe and sound.

Nah don't worry about it, I don't want to trouble anyone with this. My buddy's shop is up in Wallkill, NY...its a bit of a drive from my place, from westhampton it will be killer.

Welcome to the club.

Thanks ;)

Sucks man. Hope you get it back together fast

This weekend!

I don't know yet. Will find out this weekend once I pull the motor outta there. It was leaking coolant out of the HFM sensor...felt awful, its as if she was bleeding :(

Here is an engine I pulled, car had a Euro E36 8k tachometer and owner thought he could r3v the car that high.

Ooops

Thanks man...the S52 that we'll be swapping in will definitely be an eye opener for me. Sucks to be upgrading this way but shit happens :(

Holy crap, I wouldn't be surprised if I saw the same thing on mine...I definitely didn't get anywhere near redline when that happened.
