From Bob's 4 Cycle Briggs OHV - Hope I have this luck should I ever run mine dry.

To start off we run a version of the lo206 converted to meth...... To get right to the point I forgot to put oil back in after our heat race at the track the other day and it died on the track after 2 or 3 laps. After getting the kart back to the house I figured dirt in the carb???pulled the motor and removed the drain plug and about a tablespoon of mud came out......... we've been running Red -E for years and are very happy with the performance of it. I put oil in it and bolted it back on...... it fired up pretty much like nothing happened ran good no smoke haven't really stress tested it yet and I remember on the "old Bobs site" reading about someone running Red-E with pretty much the same thing but don't remember what the outcome was..... I know the right thing to do would be to call our motor guy and get another one but like most of the racers out there were on limited funds and this might end our season.... So the I guess what I'm trying to get at is how screwed am I?

Update; We ran the rest of our season plus a few races at another track and didn't do a thing to it.....we ran some of the fastest laps we ever ran the thing was better then it ever was. I really do believe it was the red e that saved it and maybe a little luck too..... Gonna send it to the engine builder soon and have him tear it down to see if any damage was done but from what I can tell it never skipped a beat.
