Same thing happened to me in my 951 once. I'd just put the intake back together and was taking her for a test spin. After she was warmed up, I decided to go WOT. The problem was when I went to shift to 2nd it bounced off the rev limiter instead of dropping. I kept the clutch pressed in, turned off the ignition, and coasted to a stop. When I popped the hood, I saw that I had rotated a hose clamp so that the throttle cam stuck on it. 2 second with a screwdriver and it was fixed.
Now from what I gather on the Toyota's, it takes pressing the ignition button for 2 seconds continuously to turn the ignition off. That could be 2 seconds too long.
Yes, you can also shift into neutral, but that wouldn't be my first instinct.
