Eric,
I would trust my car to most of the autocrossers I know as well. But you
know as well as I do that the majority of the dolts on the road are barely
conscious at best. If one of them hit the car while you were responsible for
it, just who picks up the liability, and the resultant insurance problems?
My van got hit one day while I was turning left at an intersection. I got
around the corner and had to stop because someone in front of me decided to
turn left into a lot. I got rear ended while waiting for the guy in front to
to make up his mind. It could just as easily happen to you while driving a
car owned by Mr. Washburn. In a case like that, who's insurance picks up the
tab? My checkbook nor my insurance would want to cover that.
