If I wreck the car on the street, what does that have to do with what I did last weekend on a track?

Lot's of insurance fraud attempts are made after wrecking on an autocross. People move their wrecked car to the side of a road and call insurance. Insurance companies don't want the risk of potential fraud, and that's their decision to make. Can't blame them for watching their own tail.

I remember reading in a magazine awhile back about some company canceling people's warranties and then Chevrolet mailing people saying "go ahead and race, you're covered".

I know the evo/sti crowd is a big part of this, so hopefully no one cares about my pos $1500 car.
