If the track is accessible by the public, no expectation of privacy. Sorry. If you're paranoid, it's not up to me to cover your butt. Take your plate off or put a sponsor plate on or whatever. It's not rocket surgery.

I run around tracks with my plates on myself, I'm not a tinfoil hat kinda guy I guess.
Its probably a gray area whether or not it is "public". If there are fees paid and registration required, it may be considered a private event.

In any case, you are taking pictures of people without their permission and should abide by their wishes.

At many entertainment events, photographers need to be approved and credentialed .

An example is at a concert, they restrict audio recording. It is open to the public, but not a public event. There is a difference and different expectations of privacy

If you were taking a picture of a car on the street it is different than at a racetrack where it could create a problem for the car owner with their insurance company or a warranty repair

Are you selling the pictures you take or getting any consideration for the pics?
