He was driving on track for HPDE, which 95% of the insurance companies out there officially exclude. He would have to lie about where the crash took place, and with that amount of damage he would also have to file a police report and lie to them as well.

Bottom line is, if you are on track you are 100% responsible for any damage you may incur. At some events you may be able to purchase separate declared value track day insurance for a fee.

Wow, should I be impressed with myself in that I knew exactly where he was going to lose it?

I could tell he hit that corner too hot, and didn't account for the elevation drop...

I'm saying that in good humor, not personally for anyone. Again, disclaimer: No offense to anyone, I'm just sayin'

This is how I feel, but apparently most of the people in this post disagree.

So how exactly would you have reacted to that? I mean come on KillerBee.

Exactly, and you could tell the inevitable was going to happen once he hit the grass to hot.

Is there a way to multi quote?

at least he only did damage to his own car and not somebody else's car as well.

but wouldn't he still have to file a police report? in fact wouldnt this be considered a hit and run? over here, any accident has to be reported to the police if there is personal injury or the cumulative total damage to all property involved is greater than 500 bucks. and with the rates body shops charge, 500 bucks is about what it takes to eliminate a scratch or a couple of dents.

completely agree, this was not a bad wreck by any means in the scheme of things. I give him credit for taking a what, 100K+ car out on the track. An accident is exactly that, an ACCIDENT. If you can afford the r8, I seriously hope you can afford to fix this mistake. all I'm saying is kudos to him for enjoying his car, hopefully he can fix his mistake

Oklahoma has a "slick streets" deal where unless there's an injury, no police are dispatched to an accident. They say to go to a gas station and get the nessicary forms and file it yourself.

Good for track days, though you may have to wait for a major downpour/tornado like weather, or, snow on the ground.
