Jim,
thanks for jumping in. i am assuming you got my note since i believe it went to the CRB although i am unsure if it went to the newest members since i received a response from one member that did not run for re-election.
i appreciate anyone's involvement in these informal settings and want to apologize ahead of time for any thing that might not come across as intended. hard to capture humor or sarcasm sometimes when you don't know someone's sense of humor.
i was very encouraged that SCCA bid out the insurance and the news was posted elsewhere that it came back pretty well. but it was also my understanding that the insurance was not bid as with or without SFI H&NR, etc. it is also my understanding that it is based primarily on loss experience/history.
if the loss experience is what drives this, then i think the Isaac with its better performance should be allowed (some might say mandated). i am not in favor of any brand or any style being mandated. i can understand if one is required. i would not have an issue with a requirement of must protect against XY g impact with a maximum force of YX Newtons, etc.
if based on performance, it should be easy to justify to the membership. and if a $99 version of protection comes on the market soon, it will likely cause a large increase in the membership that has one and further improve the safety of the drivers and help control the insurance costs.
in case you had not seen the buzz on the potential $99 version:
