Autocrossing and insurance

[Dlirium]

There has never, in the history of autocrossing, been an accident.

Seriously, the safety records for those events are usually WAY safer than the drive to/from the event. They are set up to AVOID any incidents.

What made you concerned about it?

Seriously -never??? I assume you are being sarcastic, but cars have flipped/rolled and hit light poles, etc. You under estimate the stupidity of the human race... if there is a will, there is someone stupid enough to lower the bar.

Yes, mostly - but in the entire history of the PCA Loma Prieta region AX events, there has never been even a bump. In general, this should be one of the safest things you do and would normally not be a cause for concern.

But, as you point out, if you are racing next to light poles and walls, then perhaps checking insurance s a good idea :-)

My club is very safe, but I was trying out a PCA event which is on a speedway. I've only been to one other Autocross there (non-PCA event) and someone totaled their brand new 330. **************** Happens.

Here's a lap on the course, lots of walls, tons of fun though!
