Its great that you were able to walk away.

When you mentioned that it was totaled, I thought..Totaled...Really?

They can do some amazing things today with computerized unibody frame machines. For a $150,000 car to written off you physically would be dealing with more than a air bag bruise!

Now that I am home and car is here too, we think it is repairable. Unless the frame machine shows the tub is tweaked, and there is no evidence of that, then the "Track Rat" is coming back stronger and better than ever.

The worst thing was seeing and knowing all my run group mates were back on track and I was fooked for both run days. Can't wait to get the hammer down and will go to back-up plan and use Mr Spyder for my Laguna Seca sessions this Monday and Tuesday. I JUST found and mounted Michelin Pilot Sport Cups on him so he is fully capable of track duty. Whew!

Look, we all know that certain risks must be accepted for certain pursuits. Those of us that love to seek the limits will sometimes get bit in the pursuit. While I consider myself a safe and competent driver, sometimes things happen. And they certainly did two days ago (green guy was Fate)

Glad to hear that you're okay! +1 on saftey first.

I am interested to hear how everything ends up playing out with the track insurance. I have full coverage too, but hope to never use it.

Good luck at LS with the Spydey! Post your best lap times. Give me something to chase in July.

I have coverage through WSIB Insurance. I only signed up for the DE/TT/Track Day program, but I believe they insure race teams too.
