I have been to numerous OPEN track events over the years .and as these cars are coach builds and not completely shaken down the potential for an issue could be there. We both know I had my issues for a turnkey coach build.

A couple of years ago I attended an open track event with another car not my back draft, and this individual came with a freshly completed cobra (not a BDR) with a 460 big block 600 miles on the clock and roughly 600+ hp.

Well he went off course went air borne and put the nose in the dirt! Now I understand this is the worst case scenario and would not be a warranty issue but the point is the unforeseen could happen.
The motor could overheat and warp a head or blow a head gasket, the trany could snap an input shaft etc.

I am just asking if the warranty would be in place or suspended for the track event. Then there is the issue of public pictures on the web and the Manufactures denying claims. I have seen it happen.

If it is brought up and answered right from the start and explicitly stated how such situations were to be handled then no ruffled feathers so to speak and everyone knows what to expect.
Remember these are high HP and lightweight cars, so is the answer yes or no or case by case basis?
