Autocross, serious accident damage in autocrossing is EXTREMELY rare. It has happened but it's almost unheard of.
Most damage is limited to some cone scuff marks. Tape up the potentially effected areas and the car is none the worse.
But CANYON racing, yeah, go play tag on a canyon road. Now THAT'S designed for safety when racing beyond speed limits. No risks to your precious leased car (with those high speed AMG mats) there!
Dan, do you actually even OWN a Crossfire (or ANY performance car), or are you simply a keyboard car jock?
FYI guys... Damage during SCCA Autocross or Solo events would not be covered by your insurance, because they are officially timed events, thus racing... But all of the events that I run with Speed Ventures, Speed Trial USA or The Racer Factory are considered "advanced driving instruction" because they are not officially timed events and they have professional instructors as part of the track crew... This is how they get around the insurance stipulation. In the past 5 years of events with "The Racer Factory", there has not been one incident of "Trading Paint" with another driver...
Canyon racing is insane!!! Not only are you endangering yourself, but others as well...
As far as Dan's car... Yes he actually does have one... I've seen it...
