When I think of race events I parallel that to two cases in my life' experiences in insurance's limitations.I do not advocate that insurances get involved.But I am reporting what I have found.Frankly NHRA is a sectioning body that has insurance implications.Anyways-back when I toured mixing sound for live concerts say "X" band would record and then go on tour to promote record sales.Went I first started that the "X" band's tour because of the numerous concert dates would be about 6 months.Good gig for me for sure.A couple of issues happened and the media put up a big stink and yepper the number of shows because of the outlandish insurance riders that where required of promoters cut the concerts in haft.

The other case where insurance has over run a industry is in trucking.No doubt about it.

So if the air shows want to continue to self regulate,I think they have to show they can.Make some rule changes.Maybe slow down the planes abit.
