This is amazingly idiotic. The insurance companies are so afraid
something will happen and you will make a claim. As I understand it (your
region may vary) you are covered by the SCCA's insurance while your out
on course. 

I don't know what this entails since i've seen one stupid accident
involving a woman driver (She's a good driver, made a stupid choice) in a
CRX. 

I believe she had to claim the damage on her own insurance on that one. I
don't fully understand what's covered by having their own insurance other
than covering their own asses in the event that something happens where
people get hurt. Liability only I guess. 

Im kind of mixed on whether or not I should come forth with that info. I
didn't tell my insurance company that I autox, mainly because they didn't
ask me. I feel I should tell them what I do with the car. But their
knowledge of what is involved in autoxing is typically so mindlessly
limited that I feel I should'nt say crap to aviod what happened to you. 

See what bragging about your car gets you? :)-
