300 shot last night Ok firts off I have ran more that a 300 before (350) but it has always been 1/8 mile last night I entered a race called the real nobull nationals I was in thr radial tire class, I was hoping to race a slower car the first round just to test the 300 shot out because i havent used it sense the new Dart heads went on but wouldnt you know it i get the fastest car first round 
so i hope for the best and turn it all on.
I left the line on a 100 shot and at the 60ft the 300 came on at the same time the 100 went off, at the 1/8 mile i looked at the wide band and it was bottomed out at 10.1 but it was pulling like a mother so i stayed in it car really felt good all the way through but after i shut it down i could smell trans fluid and seen the ambulance going on to the track so at this time i thought i just sprayed the track but after getting to the car stoped i looked under it didnt see anything so i started down the return road (track was also fine) then i noticed the car is very hot (240*) its never been that hot so i shot it down and soon as i stop the upper radiator hose explodes, After a settles down i see the belt is gone so now i'm woundering did it push water? or just overheat due to no belt?
The biggest kicker is that i wasnt able to get a time slip due to the no bull race is NT heads up racing and they cant give or tell a time all i know is the trap speed was 144mph
O and i lost that race

Did you do any damage to the motor? Plugs ok?

I just looked at the run again and i can tell you the engine temp was only 192* when i got off the gas but by the time i got back to the pit and shut it down the data shows 270* thats when it blew so my guess would be at the very end of the run or while i was slowing down is when the belt came off
