Rethinking the metal to metal incident policy on track?

It is unfortunate when someone else's mistake causes you to have to pay to fix your car. However, racing is not a "poor man's" sport. If you cannot afford to total your car, you have no business being out on the track.

That being said, I did write a check to a fellow racer when my error caused him to need a LF fender and Dr door. I did not do this because he asked, I insisted on doing it because that's the way I roll. I was taken out by a driver in '06 and after we discussed what happened he offerred me a new fender. I accepted it but did not expect it. I did not start racing until I could afford to replace the entire car several times over if necessary.
