You forgot to add Mustangs leaving "cars and coffee" events.I've read a couple of Plaid crashes. Unskilled drivers unable to handle what's available and end up crashing. No different than Porsche, Lamborghini, or Dodge Demons.

Don't mean to be harsh about this, but inexperienced driver + high performance car = a good way to win a Darwin Award.
Okay, maybe you're right. Maybe I'm wrong to assume that this guy was inexperienced. But if you are correct in saying that he has/had exposure to other "high end powerful cars", then he should have known better than to push the car beyond its or his capabilities.What makes you think this guy is unskilled? Seems like a car enthusiast with experience in several high end powerful cars from his other posts.
I'm pretty sure you were right and the guy was inexperienced. The page the OP linked is not the owner of the car, nor is he the owner of any of the "high end powerful cars" he posted. The car owner is tagged in his post and he looks to be an actor. Is he inexperienced, I don't know but my hunch is that he might be.Okay, maybe you're right.

You are correct, the Instagram account belongs to the individual who was actually driving the Plaid when the incident occurred, not the owner of the car. The driver is an experienced "trackster".I'm pretty sure you were right and the guy was inexperienced.

Brakes can get toasty running the East 2.1 (aka East "A") configuration, especially for a car which can reach some high speeds.I was curious what the track layout looked like because I’m not quite sure how this story jives with a verified 7:35 Nurburgring time in a bone stock car. If the “2.1 mile” quote from the post is accurate, that’s the “East” configuration on this page by process of elimination:
The Track
The race track at Spring Mountain Motor Resort & Country Club is a fantastic combination of fast sweeping corners, quick esses, off-camber tu...www.springmountainmotorsports.com
I mean, I can certainly see how an enthusiastic dumbass running flat-out with no regard for brake temp management - particularly with the aero covers on - could roast them in a few laps and end up in the tires. Especially in a 5,000 pound sedan with stock pads and rotors.
Is that the car’s fault? I’m gonna have to go with “nah” on that one. It can clearly sustain performance for longer than that in the hands of a skilled driver - despite obviously not being designed to be a track monster.
