Wow. Sorry for your friend. It sucks to be all excited for a track day and going back home with a broken car. I hope it can be fixed in short order. But unfortunately, it is not like Ford has a ton of spare engines laying around. A seized engine on track means he needs a completely new engine. He should not accept anything less. Unless it was not really seized and just shut down due to electronics or fuel starvation and the like. Hoping for the best.
