28 Raceways In
Georgia Get
Illegal Insurance
ATLANTA—Comptroller Gen
eral James L. Bentley has re
vealed that investigation of av
ailable records at the Depart
ment of Public Safety in regard
to insurance companies writing
race track coverage in Georgia
indicates that policies covering
28 out of a total of 34 tracks
were Issued in violation of the
State’s Insurance Code, since
they were sold by out-of-state
brokerage firms and writtenthr
ough Insurance companies not
licensed in Georgia.
A new State law which re
quires all Georgia race tracks
to have $1 million in liability
insurance was passed by the
General Assembly during Its last
session immediately following a
spectacular accident at a Cov
ington, Georgia, drag strip which
accounted in 12 spectator deaths.
The law places the administrat
ive responsibility under the De
partment of Public Safety. Bent
ley, who serves as Insurance
Commissioner, has argued that
the law is considerably weak
and does not accomplish the goal
of making race tracks in the
State safer for the spectators.
According to Bentley, “Liability
Insurance is only payable after
a death or Injury.”
He added, “Also, the law pla
ces ’he responsibility to set saf
ety standards at race tracks In
the hands of Insurance compan
ies and not a state regulatory
agency.” He pointed out that
this allowed a large degree of
variation In track standards, and
even no standards at all In cases
where a company would agree
to Insure a track regardless of
safety conditions.
Mr. Bentley emphasized that
although policies have been writ
ten by unlicensed companies, the
Department of Public Safety Is
not legally vulnerable because the
law Is so vaguely written, It act
ually does not require a company
writing a track policy to have a
State license.
Mr. Bentley said he has offer
ed his department’s services to
the Department of Public Safety
In further Investigation of track
liability Insurance standards.
Further, the Commissioner has
asked Attorney General Arthur
Bolton for an opinion as to his
authority to allow the Fire Mar
shal’s Office to set and main
tain adequate safety standards
for race tracks. According to
Bentley’s letter to Bolton, “The
question has arisen as to the
authority of this Office to pro
mulgate rules and regulations
with respect to crash rails, spec
tator fences and other devices de
signed to protect the public from
the danger of a racing vehicle
crashing out of control and bur
sting or exploding into flame.
It is my understanding that some
of the vehicles are operated on
highly explosive fuels such as
nitroglycerin and ethyl alcohol
as well as highly flammable or
explosive type petroleum fuels.”
Mr, Bentley said he hopes to
have an opinion In ten days so
that he can begin Inspecting the
tracks and determining what saf
ety standards are necessary.
