Two weeks ago at the track, I had a really nice session. I got back to my paddock spot, left the car running and popped the hood to let it cool off.
Then the engine stopped on its own. I turned around and saw a bunch of smoke.
Eventually I figured out that a number of electrical connectors had fallen on my cat. This is the harness next to the transmission that includes the reverse and neutral switches, along with the rear o2 sensor.
The car is deader than dead. No radio, and the windows won't even roll up. So of course it also doesn't start. As far as I can tell, the only wires that touched (and probably also grounded to the exhaust) were the neutral and reverse switches. I think the o2 sensor wiring is fine.
I checked a lot of fuses at the track and couldn't find a bad one.
I'll fix the bad wires, and I'll go through the fuses again, but any advice would also be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Melted wires, car very dead.
