Unsure of cause, but appears to be related to either a head gasket letting go or a coolant hose letting go, and causing fluid under the tires and loss of control.

Thoughts?

I don't think the car is getting replaced by either Ford or (insert auto insurance provider here) because the accident looks like has taken place during a motorsports event. If that's the case he guy just may have to fork the bill and drive an Aveo for the next few years till that mess is settled.

I was thinking about that but I doubt it for drag racing.

What? I know tons of people who have it that are at the track, a lot.

doubtful. I can't say that I ever considered such a thing any time I ever took any of my mustangs to the track. Even if they did offer it, they don't advertise it.

What do you mean they don't advertise it? I've seen it on the TV, radio, and magazines. What more do you want?
 
I'm just saying I've never heard of a company that offers insurance for you to take your overinflated price of $80K car to the track to drive it different than what it was meant for, and yes we know it's a sports car but drag racing even at the track is considered a reckless, non-insurable event. You might find a company that specializes in such a thing but not a regular insurance company and you're going to pay out the rear to boot.

Don't get me wrong, I love going to the track but it is an inherent risk of drag racing (or any other kind of racing for that matter) that I might lose my car and pay on it for the rest of its loan while I'm driving Kia to work.

BTW, what companies offer drag racing insurance?
