I've only seen a couple of incidents when a car has been seriously damaged at the track. Most people just blow up engines or break gearboxes and diffs.

different horses for different courses I just want to have a nice car where me and the mrs can go for a nice pleasant drive up thru the Adelaide hills or down the beach on a nice evening . my hoon days on the road are long gone along with quite a few points off my license over the yrs :-) or if the mrs wants to pick up a friend and go out for coffee she can ..I did the track day thing when I owned my last skyline and to be honest they didn't do much for me always the thought in the back of the head I would put it into the Armco at Mallala .
as for blowing stuff up its hard enough to keep up with engines and diffs on the race car let alone busting stuff on a road car . not having a shot at those who build there cars and track them it's just not my thing
cheers dean
