I think it boils down to what America has become or is becoming in a fast way. PEOPLE NOT TAKING RESPONSABILITY FOR THERE OWN ACTIONS!!and always wanting to pass the buck or blame others! Its no ones fault but your own if you dont have insurance and something bad happens to your car. GROW UP

Couldn't agree more, but that's not the American Way anymore. As long as we have attorneys willing to compromise ethics and principles to represent the irresponsible, ........ and all for the almighty dollar, ........ the US will continue to deteriorate. Sure beats working for a living, right? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img]

Just my personal opinion so if you disagree, jump on my back. But be advised; I don't subscribe to Political Correctness anymore.

I've been of the train of thought for quite a while that one of the biggest problems in the world (and particularly the United States!) is the LACK OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILTY. With todays' slick-dick lawyers, anything that happens is somebody's else fault and they should have to pay. I've said it before but I think it's just a matter of time before somebody tries to sue God Almighty for their losses. I'm sure the Vatican has substantial funds, so why not? Anyway, back to the subject.......it's a known but quiet fact that lots of &quot;lame-brain&quot; car collectors don't have insurance because they don't drive the cars and they are usually kept very secure in fortified buildings. We obviously won't be hearing from these collectors in this thread but I bet Hagerty gets a lot of phone calls soon. It's common sense that it's difficult to maintain and insure a fleet of 8-10-or more cars than it is to the average car guy with 1-2-3 cars. Most of these auction cars have avoided catastrophe for 30-40-50 years so the chances of something bad happening the day before it is going to be sold is nil. Well guess what.......&quot;nil&quot; happened! Now somebody has to pay and I'll assume that the party that makes out the best is the lawyer that walked around and left business cards on every damaged vehicle windshield.

Attorneys are not the problem, no more than gun manufacturers are when someone uses their product to commit crimes. Andy had it right...the problem is with those who seek recourse when they are chiefly responsible for their own loss.

The main tent at Barrett was fine. They announced it was rated for 100 mph. The adjoining tents on each end were not rated to 100 mph and they closed those off.
