<VV> Membership question -- Insurance??

[Eric S. Eberhard]

That is the part I am having trouble explaining properly to the group 
so I'll try one more time:

So everyone that participates in the event is covered.  A car crashes 
and hurts someone.  The hurt person decides that the club did not set 
up a safe course and did not have policies in place to ensure the 
track was safe.  So they sue the (covered) person that crashed.  They 
sue the (hopefully covered) local chapter.  They sue the (covered) 
national CORSA.  They sue the (THIS IS THE TRICKY ONE) officers and 
board members of the local chapter and the event organizers 
PERSONALLY .... are they covered?  Even if not members of 
national?  I suspect not when they are not a member, I hope so if 
they are a member.
