[Wichita-SCCA] Last Weekend HPT

[Rocky Entriken]

It is my understanding the ambulance was required by HPT's insuror. Which makes it no less stupid and IMHO SCCA itself should be leaning on both HPT and its insurance agent/carrier to bring some sanity to the situation -- not the least being that HPT as site owner is covered by SCCA's liability insurance. This is nothing more than a way to create income for the insurance carrier by forcing its customer (HPT) to meet requirements that are neither standard of the industry nor supported by decades of data. 

Have accidents ever happened (even fatalities) at solo events? Of course they have. Is the incidence of such accidents high enough to warrant such precaution? Not even close. I would bet that the incidence of accidents per 1000 persons is higher for people crossing the street, and we don't have ambulances parked on every street corner.

  I really wish we had a site that nice, but I'm glad we don't have to 
  deal with the lot fee.  Most of the price increase from last year is due
  to having an ambulance there for the whole day.  That is just
  ridiculous.  I'm still upset because I'm paying for a stupid ambulance 
  and it's personnel to sit around all day waiting for the nothing that
  will happen.  What a waste of their time and my money.  I understand the
  requirement was made by the site owner and there was no talking him out 
  of it - but I don't have to like it and I do have the right to complain
  about it.
