So after having no voltage regulator via 01+ alternator I managed to send 30 volts thru my car. Causing this:

Left a nice black spot to show me how bad I am. Burned and crack two transistors :(
Is this fixable? It seems to be but just want an experience eye to tell me yay or nay.

Oh I see that I fried 3 transistors. That 5v, the most left-most one that Joe said and the two tip125s near where it says MICA. Im going to replace all of them for sure though.
The track doesnt look to be lifted or swollen in any way as well.
Another thing, when I plugged a plug to check spark, when I turn the key over it sparked, but wouldn't spark when I was cranking. Is that because the 5v is fried?

it'll spark with power on. but it's now not seeing your CAS input. If the insulators underneath the TIP125s failed and the body is making contact to the heatsink it will fail to operate...plus it's not getting VCC power to most things from the 5v reg that blew.

What are the chances the processor and other important components went out as well? I've seen some pretty worn down processors from overclocking but this is a totally different ballgame lol.
