Also if you don't know how to stop a run-away engine, learn now...
Foot on brake as hard as you can, into 4th and pull the clutch up fairly rapidly (but don't drop it, you could smash it to bits and then it's bye bye engine too). That's the only way you will stop the engine. Turning the key off will do NOTHING.
