Rolled it
On my way home from Summit Point. Rolled my car. Rear end is intact, front of the car is a mangled mess. Assuming engine is not damaged, what are my options? I will post a pic when I get home.

Glad that you are OK. Car can always be replaced.
I would advise you not to divulge the details before or after you get your insurance settlement if were doing something stupid when this happened.

So you rolled it the track? At first it reads like you rolled it on the way home. Assuming you don't have track insurance not to sure what you can do but one tip would be is to stop posting about it. Insurance companies can be on here.

Glad to hear the worst injury was to your ego.
If you were on the track when you rolled it, and your insurance specifically excludes track events, then you have a parts car.
Jake at Flat Six Innovations might be interested in the motor and transmission. Sounds like others here may be as well.
eBay for the interior pieces and dash components. Look at how many guys and gals on this forum alone need instrument clusters, radios, A/C controls, and lots of bits and pieces!
It may take a while, but if you are patient you might actually get enough for the parts to offset the monetary loss of the entire vehicle. Find out what retail costs are for replacement parts then ask 50% less plus shipping. Someone who needs your driver's side sun visor might be thrilled to pay half price for a used one.
Don't leave it outside if you can avoid that. Parts (interior and electrical) degrade quickly once the weather is free to breathe on them.
Cancel your insurance coverage on this vehicle. Just tell them you sold it (which you will eventually will). Then you can avoid the premium hike. Apply the eventual refund for any remaining premium toward your towing cost.
Keep good records on your sales. You might be surprised by the potential results.

If it still runs (the roll over switch might need to be reset) and transmission is ok, you can get a few grand if the car is sold complete. If you are willing to part it out, $10-$15K is possible but it will take time and work.
