Yikes! Future... that really sucks.
So, without track insurance it's all on you?

Yes, it's all coming out of the checking account. I can live with a moderate cost, just hoping it doesn't turn out to be completely destroyed. It looks like everything behind the bumper support up front is OK from what I can see, and hopefully the rear just needs a plunger and some aligment. Trunk opens/closes OK. We'll see.

At my track day today, 3rd session. VSC light came on solid, next corner it spun and I couldn't correct it. Grazed an inside wall with both ends.
Overall the G did surprisingly OK. It was pretty hot out, but temps stayed cool, brakes stayed strong. Only bugaboo was the damn 7AT, which was really fighting me during the 2nd session. Oh and for this track at least Tein Basis Zs are way way way too soft. I'd be scared to run bigger sways as the shocks can barely handle the coilover springs and shocks as is. Track ready G needs like 600/500lb springs, good shocks, and probably the widest tires you can fit out back. VSC was cutting in the whole time.
I think once I get it fixed I'm going to sell the G for a crossover or something and keep my speed outlets to karting and sim racing. I think I have run through my luck reserves between this and my motorcycle.

I follow that theory. In the process of replacing my brakes. The VDC came on because my rear pads are worn out, topped up the fluid and it went away. He did just replace his pads tho no?? But also mentioned traction control was cutting in a lot during the first two sessions

I changed all the pads about a month ago. They were fine.
Got the call from the collision center. Total loss. Car has frame damage. $20K track day. Going to see what I can get for it as scrap. If anyone wants my wheels/tires I'll let them go for $1000. I also have an uninstalled Y-pipe and silicone intake tubes.
