i don't really race @ all.. but one problem i see with more tracks is that insurance companies will just hv spies @ these tracks to see if you bring ur car to the track.. then ur premium will sky rocket... and i'm sure sky high insurance rates is one reason people may avoid the track... actually.. i tihnk they already do that...

plus there's the high possibility of cops camping around race tracks to catch people that are going to/from the track to give speeding/fix-it tickets... just like darknights... what a disaster that was...

Forgive me if Im wrong, but isnt your insurance invalid once you get onto the track? I was under the impression that once you drove onto the track your car is no longer covered by your insurance company. ANd I THINK that some track's provide an insurance policy that you can purchase

Im probably way off base here

its not that your insurance will increase when used on the track. Its about insurance companies taking pictures of your licence plate when your car is on the track. Then they used that picture as evidence against you, claiming you are now in a higher risk group. And they can charge you a higher premium rate per month.

And your correct, your car insurance does not cover damages on the track.

I think this whole thing about crushing cars is a good thing. I've seen too many stolen parts flying around. Once a car has been discovered with more then 3 stolen parts, the car should be crushed and the owner fined. If you buy parts, you need to have papers or some proof of how you obtained your parts.

But this car crushing does give law enforcment too much power. What happens if your driving alone late at night and felt like doing some spirited driving? The police officer could claim your street racing and you will get your car destroyed.
