well something is obviously shorting out.. i would start with ground straps or any ground that you can visually see for that matter

Ed, if this is the Rally Car, sounds like a loose connection. I had that same problem. You going to meat tonight?

If it turned back on and it still runs, you are not going to find the problem for sure unless it happens again and doesn't start back up...period.

All anyone can do is guess.

Clean the bolts and terminals for both of your engine grounds, check fuel pump connection

If it isnt running, check the large fuse links behind the battery.

something similar happened to my old 91 Blazer and my 02' Saturn SC2. Turned out both times it was the Positive, in both cases immediatly after the under hood fuse box, in between the fuze box and the starter motor. From what I have read you have only checked the grounds. Give that a shot
