Briggs engine failure...paging Lubemaster

My son has a Briggs World Formula Racing Kart. It run a variation of a Briggs Animal engine with a racing cam and more compression from what I understand.

We were at the track last night and his engine let go. It blew out the crank case. I am unsure what happened.

Lubemaster, what kind of oil should I be running in this application. I was running full synthetic in it and I am wondering if this lead to the failure.

Some pics of the carnage for your enjoyment:
