First thing to do is check the coolant level in the radiator. If it's low, fill it up to the very top. Put the radiator cap back on and start the engine. Let it warm up and look for leaks. Since you were gunning the engine I suspect a hose has sprung a leak. Hope that helps! Jim

I agree. Sounds like you lost your coolant. Look for a blown hose or a popped frost plug. Probably no harm done since you didn't run it long.
