Broke the DTT

Really i dont know what happened yet. I just got back from the fair where i was attempting to flat drag (150 ft).

We were running pro lights something light that, where all the yellows light then green, we were already prestaged.

The first pass was just practice and just for fun, so off course hooked great except i was the first one in line and the track was a little muddy so i spun half way.

The second i didnt have the turbo lit all the way and just barely got beat but was gaining hard. (still lost though)

The third i was building boost and at about 7-9 psi it was singing so i inched it forward and let off a little to much so i had to lite the turbo again. At the same psi it was sounding so beautiful and i was trying hard to feather it to the line and keep it lit all at the same time, i lost it alittle and about the time i staged i just got it back and was ready to eat some lunch the light turned yellow and just as i was going to let out the tranny went pop .

After i got towedoff the track i had nothing in the forward gears and when i put it in reverse it would kill it.

Any thoughts of what it might be. Torq converter? You could smell the burnt tranny fluid and there wasnt any fibers on the dip stick. The only thing i dont have billit is the intermediat but i dont think that would be it. I didnt leave any puddles anywhere.
