Not to say that insurance companies haven't been party to some big screw
jobs....
And not to say that it totally sux that you hit a pole and totaled your
car...because it does...
But.....people in general piss and moan about insurance rates, and are
pretty ruthless in finding the cheapest ones.....then expect an event like
autocrossing to be covered under the basic policy?
If you want/need coverage while racing, call K&K and get it - I'm sure there
is some type of policy that will do it.....but why you would expect a
regular policy to cover this is beyond me!
If they cover your loss, that money eventually costs all of us in
premiums....and I don't want to pay for your accident which occurred WAY
outside the scope of the policy you purchased.....
"This is going to cost me serious cash"
It should - it was your mistake. Life sucks, but there is a risk in any
type of speed event - even autocrossing!
And, no I don't work for an insurance company....
