...POC, is always at fault when the preflight inspection was the only direct cause of the incident.
Sure..they left the hood open..where was YOUR safety latch? How was YOUR inspection before you left..
ya got lucky not having an insurance fight on your hands.

Just like not all (very few in fact) wont cover wadding up the car at a track event..
In the UK, you'd be correct, you gotta state EVERYTHING you do, right down to the K&N filter..but not here, necessarily.

...absolutely, as you've since discovered.
Thats how it's written..barring the very very few exceptions around "speed contests"..etc.

Well just giving a status update as I havent posted in a while. My insurance has cut me a check for repairs that need to be performed. Further my new Panspeed Drop Vent Hood is on order. Just waiting for the hood to come in so I can get the car into the shop and have her fixed up. Plus 1 for insurance 
Plus another 1 for pre-flight everytime you drive the car...just a walk around..sayin hi, checkin the goods..and that no kids pulled a hood pin.
You really got away with that for a LONG time without a problem I thinks..

May I suggest learning some social interactive skills? All in all I'm sure your a great guy, out in the real world.
Generally i don't mind someone being offensive, so long as the person is contributing to the thread while flaming. You can look up Mazdamaniacs posts for reference.
However in your case, with great knowledge comes posts with no support help or relavance. Maybe its the fact that you feel you have a right to belittle people. After all you are a nasa instructor and you have a super fast car.
Heck maybe its some deep seated psychological disorder.
Or maybe your just trying to do it for the attention, who knows.
I just have to ask what is the point of posting all of this? What service does it provide? How are you bettering others and yourself?
I'm not trying to be an *** I'm just trying to figure out why you act how you do. I'm giving you an opportunity to look at how you are relating to others on this forum. Is being a giant pain in the rear really supportive? Is it really how you want to be known?
