[Lawrence]

EMT Training I would think would be the path to follow, hmmmm let me check
into that.

Sounds like we need to have the club buy an old ambulance, and get some
members to pass some medical courses, and we can start generating $1000 a
day for the club.

In St. Louis, we autox at Gateway International Raceway.  They have been
attempting to add an ambulance for several years.
 
So far, we have been able to talk them out of it by showing the SCCA safety
plan, our own additional safety plan, meeting the safety chiefs, and
providing a good "tenant experience".  Eventually, the insurance company
will win and we too will be forced to use an ambulance at Solo events.
 
So, I think this is becoming a racetrack CYA move everywhere, especially at
HPT where the relationship seems strained at best.

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.
