I don't think that is what happened....
from the vortex--Sounds like it was the Vette that did the damage.
"Now for the bad part of the day. The finish section was a quick left into the finish cones. There was room at the time that you could really build up some speed while you ran the last 200 feet. In the first run group in the afternoon session, there was a B-E-A-utiful GT3 running. The forth run was just for fun as only the first 3 runs count toward your points. The guy let his friend drive the 4th run. The friend was driving a nice mid 90's Vette and was one of the fastest cars in the run group. So as he came through the finish cones, he went to grab the brakes but got the clutch instead and this is the aftermath...."

OK, so who pays. My friend was parked in the spectator area and his car is totaled....
Who Pays? The Porsche driver...he must be a nut case, the Porsche owner, the track? the SCCA, Who? His car was hit by the car that the Porsche hit.

But the cars that were hit also signed a waiver. So we would think that your friend would pay. :(
Of course it wasn't his fault but he signed the general waiver; in case he got hurt at the event, his car, etc. Sucky.

Sucky is right....He does have uninsured motorist coverage. It seems to me that if a wheel
fell off an airplane and landed on your car, you shouldn't have to pay. Same thing here. He parked where he was told to park, someone else set up the cones (safe or not I don't know), someone else let a guy drive their high performance car...the guy that was driving should have his drivers licnese burned and his gonads removed. If you get behind the wheel of a high performance car, you would think you would have enough sense to know how to stop the car. What an idiot.
