Yes, tracking is dangerous.

Imagine how bad it might have been if he had been tracking.

Wow. That sucks. I don't see how insurance covers this either (without some serious lying).

This is so not true that it defies description.

I still have not heard of a single autocross incident related claim not being covered but know of quite a few that were (through a number of carriers). No lying, no fraud, nothing that wasn't totally above board. The fallout has been that those people have seen their carriers refuse to renew or significantly increase their rates at their next opportunity.

I'm saying a few things:

1) I wouldn't assume that polices which I have not reviewed cover or don't cover specific things in specific situations, particularly those issued in other states.

2) Anecdotal as it may be and without knowledge of what their policies said, I have heard of quite a few people having autocross related claims honored by various carriers in various states where the circumstances were hoestly described while I have not heard of any autocross claim being denied where the circumstances were honestly described.

Whether those claims were honored as good will gestures or something like that, I can't say, and I wouldn't make assumptions about my own or anyone else's coverage based on those anecdotal examples. I'm just relating what I have witnessed in the past as opposed to speculating on potential future events.
