Alan,

I think you're completely correct.

As I understand it, CORSA Chapters' events are automatically insured  
through CORSA's group coverage. Chapters do not even have to fill out  
paperwork before the event unless they need proof of insurance, which  
sometimes is required. An example is our autocross, they require a  
certificate, so we get them one.

But other events are covered about as you describe. An example is our  
"Corvairs Drive the Tail of the Dragon" event. Because that was a club  
event we were insured. Had someone run off the road they could have  
sued us claiming we were going too fast or something or the event was  
too dangerous, etc.

This insurance is a great deal for us all and is not fully appreciated  
by members.
