I have no idea what got sucked into the front of the compressor other than a nut or bolt of some form or a handful of gravel.
There's video on YouTube of that handful of gravel.

But seriously, earlier this season my air filter was too close to the tire and would pop loose at full lock turning... I had to add a 45deg elbow to the end of the intake to get the filter clear. The damage may have been done at the 1st event of the season before I realized the problem and fixed it.
