At about 3/4 track the methanol fuel went into preignition due to the a/f mixture being too lean. Two rods exited the block along with part of the camshaft and dumped oil and coolant under all the tires. The car crossed the finish line sliding at an angle. I was able to straighten it out without hitting anything. The number 6 cylinder piston was sideways in the bore. I went to a drysump oiling system on the next engine.
I did straighten her out.

u mean by having a lean a/f it can cause the methanol in the water meth kit to pre ignite??

@Rone170 I burn methanol fuel only. There is no gasoline and no water.
