Default Blown Head Gasket

I think I blew my head gasket yesterday at the track. There was a huge plume of white smoke out of the exhaust and the car stalled. There's no water in the oil, in fact there's no water anywhere. It all seems to have been blown out through the pressure cap on the coolant reservoir. Am I likely to have damaged anything else? This happened at full boost.

You will never know for sure unless you pull the head and check. Hopefully, it was only the head gasket.

Vertex Stage 2 chips + Lindsey Boost Enhancer. As far as I can tell the gasket has never been changed out so it's not really surprising.
