This is the beginning of a slippery slope. The next thing they will have to ban is the SAM's the stewards will need to start bringing to the events to enforce this rule. Then you'll have stealth drones and so on.
Honestly, I've seen a handful of these at events. Always operated by participants that were very respectful and very aware of avoiding any potential risk to the event. As the HMFIC at I talked to a couple of the owners about keeping them out of risky zones and they were agreeable and were happy to share the videos made with others and improved the experience. This really seems like a solution looking for a problem.

like most issues this came out of Florida. the unit i saw pictures of from Sebring was pretty big, maybe 3 feet across. we asked the insurance carriers and they said the lack of regulation causes a problem and asked us to ban them for now. Now the list of things the insurance companies do not want us involved in are skydiving, cranes and drones.

Dick, it seems like the longer term solution is to ban Florida.
I can imagine the story behind banning skydiving at club racing events is entertaining.
