ok so I was wondering what you all think about what will happen - here is the situation:
my bf is an hpde driver and participates in local hpde events. well this weekend as he was on the track, his car went off the track, flew up in the air, and crashed into the fence. now parked on the other side of the fence was a porsche 944 (this is about all the info I have on that - I wasn't there). both cars (my bf and the porsche) have front passenger side damage - the porsche seems to have taken more of it - we are talking front bumper/body kit/possible minor hood damage.
now I don't know how many of you have actually gone to a track for any event but your admission, parking in the parking lot,and simply stepping foot on grounds means that you release the racetrack from any liability they may have if something happens. The porsche was parked in a parking lot - however it was right by the fence (the ground separating the track and the parking lot isn't much - probably 3-5 feet I would say) - but by parking in that parking lot (and right next to the fence - I would NEVER have parked there - just because something could happen being that close to the track) doesn't the owner of the porsche know that something could happen to his car?
Therefore, my question is do you think my bf will be held liable for the crash no matter what and have to pay damages or is he covered under the liability release from the racetrack and the porsche owner waiving liability by parking there or do you think it is a "private party" matter where even with liability waivers he caused the accident and due to that will have to pay?
