Dale,
Well said!! I would add a number 6) to your excellent list of
descriptions of the drivers these insurance companies are canceling:
6) Can and do limit their extreme driving to the autocross track where
any errors are unlikely to result in serious damage to themselves or others.

Although the insurance industry is heavily regulated by the government,
they still have some ability to make policy decisions based on perceived
risk. In my mind the company who cancels policy holders who autocross
their cars gets rid of customers who:
1) Can intensely focus on the driving task when needed,
2) Have practice positioning their vehicle in tight spaces and have a
accurate perception of its physical size and dimensions,
3) Have an understanding of the handling and braking limits of their
vehicle, especially with respect to obstacle/collision avoidance.
4) Have maintained their vehicle's roadworthiness (at least to pass tech
inspection) or have upgraded its performance with improved parts,
5) Have had instruction and practice with aspects of vehicle safety and
pedestrian safety at moving events.
It seems to me that some other company(ies) might stand to gain by
insuring
these folks.
