Similar thing happened at the Manx Senior this year. I think it was a 'Zuki led off down Bray Hill, lunched it's bottom end throwing a rod through the cases, but the bugger was still making enough power ... spraying oil like a fire truck sprays water, and running hard enough that it oiled the entire road three-quarters of a mile. They had to red flag the race (already a day and an hour or two delayed due to rain and fog), clean up the road and restart another hour or so later, reducing the number of laps from 4 to 2. The rider was only really aware of what had happened as the motor seized up, out of oil, at the end of that. Quite a mess ...
