As Nick said "strangest breakdown at a dragstrio"

So last night was my first time at the drag strip. I made the drive all the way to island. It was my first run off the night or ever for that matter and i was taking it easy. Left the line at idle shifted at about 5500 into second and at about 3000rpm in second gear the car simply shut off...The car didnt sputter, didnt make a noise or a rattle or anything. It just silently shut of but the lights and gauges and electrical stuff stayed on. i kept it in neutral and kept trying to turn the key but nothing

So i rolled to the end of the track in neutral so i wasnt blocking anything and on the road to get back to the pits i still had some momentum so i tried pooping the clutch and turning the key, this also did nothing so i ended up blocking the road back to the pits. To those that i blocked the road for i apologize and do feel ashamed for that.

Back in the pits me and 2 buddies tried bringing the car back to life. Heres what we found
-Starter works if u arc it directly from the battery but wont start by turning the key
-Motor turns over fine
-no fuel at fuel rail(full tank of gas)
-nothing is leaking
-Doesnt seem like fuel pump is kicking on
- no blown fuses
In other words we have no idea what happened and im really hoping someone can lend me there brain and help me figure this out.
