Is my trans toast?

Well I was at the track last weekend and made 3 passes. On the 4th pass I was doing my burnout and at the end of burnout the trans spit all kinds of fluid out the dipstick, all over my hot exhaust causing a fire. Good thing the strip crew was fast on there feet. Now I have no reverse. Car drove fine all they way home even getting on it. Any ideas?
 
If you have no reverse, and it drove fine home, then the direct clutch is still "ok". Toasted low/reverse clutch and it will need to come out and be gone thru. If you have an aftermarket converter, maybe send it to manufacturer to have them go back thru it, check it for damage and rebuild so as to get any/all material out of it. Not just flush it as you can't make sure it is perfectly clean without cutting it open.
