Hey Phil/Alec/Steve:
I don't think they really are just trying to avoid these events, (benefit of doubt) they probably do have an insurance problem ($$$)...not unlike my insurance co. calling the H2 unacceptable, therefore doubling it's rate.
I really don't mind if they don't want to put on these off-road events, because I go out enough on my own/with OMAHOG/IHOG. But it would be nice if they helped sponsor my events.
My problem with the whole thing is the fact that they were so far into it's planning before discovering the insurance situation. Duh! They had 2 dates set for Sep 27th and Oct 11th...gone now.
I let 'Huston know they have a problem' (actually GM in Dallas, our area Rep.) They are looking into how they can help, but it is the dealers ultimate responsibility. This dealer won't even let people use their land behind their building for people to test a Hummer because they are afraid of the liability. That's why I'm wondering how they will ever build a test track.
FYI...I'm off this weekend to the Sandhills for some more fun...should be great as it is raining now and that will pack the sand a bit, and reduce the fire potential.
