<VV> Speed on Public Highways

[aeroned at aol.com]

I doubt that you'd have to cover your Corvair's tag. Another reason you should have autocrossed your Corvair.

I have a very good Insurance agent, IMO. I've talked to him about autocrossing my car. They didn't deny my claim on my autocross car when I hit a deer. I suppose there's something you could do to a car at an autocross that would require an insurance claim, but I can't think of what it could be. Unless the course was set up poorly.

If your car was damaged during an autocross and you make a claim, then you are committing a crime. If your insurance company denies a claim, made due to normal driving on a public street, you need a different insurance company.

I still don't understand how the insurance company can deny a claim based on something that happened away from an event just because you autocross. Everyone at our SCCA events have to sign a waver or leave, so the mystery photographer would be escorted off the property

Bryan, I'm not attacking you, but I'm not buying the other guy's story. The BS flag is at full staff.

Hi folks,
Related to this - yesterday I took the Miata to an autocross (sorry, no a 
orvair) and noted one of the competitors taping over his license plate.  
Why?", I asked.
"Because people will come and take pictures at an event and sell them to 
nsurance companies, who then deny a claim based on your use of the car."
He went on to tell me there had been someone taking photos at an event that was 
omewhat suspicious - not a participant, not there with a competitor, no 
usiness card, not even willing to give a name.  He later asked a friend who is 
n adjuster and got confirmation that at least one company buys photos.
