The SCCA carries a $5M blanket insurance policy against such litigation.
Other clubs carry event insurance with varying coverage.  Most of the
ambulance-chasing type of lawyers would sneer at the standard disclaimer
and sue anyway.  Of course, anybody who DOES bring such a suit is asking
to be blackballed by every racing organization in the country, IMHO.
Unless YOU were the president of Very Fast Airlines and being sued, most
shysters would go after the deep pockets of the insurer of the event.
Isn't this at least part of why track fees have gone up so much?
