Better read this article courtesy of Nizer from another thread :

Concentrate on the part about the shift cables ends and the flywheel tone ring,which got the timing off so the car wouldn't start.
I don't know if it's the same problem in your case,but I'm wondering why the car is not starting after being at the track.

Great article for lots of reasons, thanks neanicu.
My car is seized - won't turn over, vs. crank timing off in that article.

Did you try using Durametric to see if you have any codes,like Camshaft Position Sensor or Crankshaft Position Sensor codes?
Did you by any chance over revved the engine while at the track?
Did you make sure your battery has enough power to turn the engine over? Cold cranking amps?
Did you try removing the airbox and spin the engine manually at the Crank pulley?
Do you only hear a clicking noise or the starter is actually trying to spin the engine? Or you don't hear any noise at all with the key on Start position?
Etc
Etc
Lots of scenarios...

I'm trying to figure out what the gearbox noises you were hearing have to do with the engine not turning over.

Sounds like a destroyed clutch. 
Hopefully the tranny housing isn't damaged. Can you roll the car with the tranny in neutral? Also seen the intake part that fails cause a locked up engine.

If you end up having to drop the tranny try doing the shift cables ends and stronger/lighter flywheel like in the article I've posted.

After 2 days of Towing trying to get the car to the dealer, it's finally there.

After 2 days of Bullit Towing trying to get the car to the dealer, it's finally there. I got the "We think you killed the clutch" call from the service adviser asking for permission for 12 hours of work to take the transmission out. Am I right to think that unless the clutch plates are severely worn that this is design defect? Gearing up for a potential throw down. Really wish I was in Dallas or Houston....

Alright, happy to say they are taking care of it. Needs a new transmission (destroyed the bell housing), diff, starter, PP, (clutch was perfect). While the engine is out they are doing the intake recall, replacing cam actuators, and I hope some coolant fittings.
