There's an old Drag Racing saying "Nitrous, IS HARD ON PARTS!!"..
I was told this when I was little by a good family friend who is in the NHRA Drag Racing Hall of Fame...

Me too, Jim...Technically speaking, everytime you slam the loud pedel you take a risk of breaking something...However w/other set ups in my opinion you have a "safer risk"...NO2 is basically a chemical supercharger..but, if the set is not right then "Boom"..also it eats the living $hit out the rings..You can always tell Nitrous cars after some usage because of the blow by..
Just for fun, I took out my insurance policy & read the appropriate section. Under Coverage for damage to your auto
Other than collision
Exclusions
C. Mechanical or electrical breakdown or failure
As I would guess most of our policies have similar verbiage. So It really doesn't even matter if the NO2 system caused the fire, as many of the "insurance experts" on that other thread are speculating. That unfortunate Z driver is SOL.
Same goes for an "off" during your HPDE track day. Do ya think some of the other participants are gonna snap pics of your car, better believe it.
Read your policy under racing, competing in, practicing, preparing for, any prearranged or organized racing or speed contest.
General automobile insurance covers on-road use only. Racing events are considered to be "off road" - any damage for any reason is exclusionary- no coverage.
Cars do burn for no good reasons, sometimes. Collision insurance should cover a fire that's the result of a collision. For spontaneous immolation, Comprehensive covers this, pretty much like for loss from theft, even if it's the results of modifications to the car (I saw a Pickup Truck "totally involved" on the side of the road last night. I always enjoy a good car fire. Nothing else quite smokes and smells the same. I imagine I wouldn't like it if it was my car, of course. But I bet a Corvette doesn't smell the same, anyway).
If this guy blew it up on the street, provided he wasn't ticketed for some traffic infraction like racing, he'd probably be able to get coverage even though it was his N20 that set it off. But on the track? No way. Doesn't even matter how it got wrecked, "off road" is all that matters.
