I've probably done 50 or 60 track days, so maybe no veteran, but hardly a rookie either. I've only ever seen a big fluid spill once, and in fact was involved in it. 4 or 5 of us in a train and the lead guy sheared a coolant line, IIRC. If you know Mosport, by any chance, this was at the bottom of 4, preparing for 5, which is the hairpin. We all got nice and squiggly, but because everyone was driving sanely nobody crashed. We all pitted in for a debrief and cleanup, but no carnage.
