There is the other part which club owner don't seem to have considered. It WILL come into play ONER day becasue these things always DO ...... in the end!

A track has insurance. Someone, one day will.... by simple lousy luck.... get injured becasue the 'used the kerbs'. For example, someone 'rides' a HIGH kerb but the seat makes contact and the driver badly injures the base of his spine. He makes a claim on the basis that the kerbs were BLATANTLY DANGEROUS and yet they were ALLOWED to be used. Indeed, they will even point at Alan's reply as PERFECT proof that drivers are EXPECTED to use the kerbs!

The insurance companies will say......

"HOLD ON here! When we offered you 'cover' nobody said ANYTHING about large lumps of serated CONCRETE being allowed ON the track surface! And these kerbs.... by your own ADMISSION.... are ON the place that YOU are now calling 'the track'...... You told US that you'd maintain a nice flat surface for the circuit..... and THAT was the basis on which we offered you cover. As we can now PROVE that you allowed and even ENCOURAGED people to drive over lumps of serated concrete.... YOU AIN'T COVERED!!!!! Pay the man his damages claim out of your OWN pockets!"

Anyone who knows ANYTHING about insdurance KNOWS that they will do ANYTHING to deny the claim....... if it's a BIG one (which it WILL be one day), then they'll have no compunction whatsoEVER to invalidate the claim...... and allowing the kerbs to be used wil be a CLASSIC!

There are SO many types of injuries that can occur BECAUSE the kerbs were ALLOWED to be used, that this will happen...... and happen SOON.... The laws of 'lousy luck' simply INSIST it WILL happen!
