It might be a good time to start discussing a different name for the car.

I have done the same in the past
along with many other engine failures
Most NorCal Shelby boys who track their
cars a lot tend to change their springs regularly
Depends on how high you rev it. 7000 plus
all the time does take its toll
You could always go out on the edge and
put a real Pontiac Motor in her
I hope you get it running soon

Thanx guys... It definitely was a 'heart in my throat' moment, but once it happens, there isnt' anything else to do but dive in and start the repairs. Oh, and pull out the wallet...
Here she is on the floor at Eric's shop:
And a shot of the bent valve. The seat and chamber look fine, just the valve and guide of course.
