Protecting event results?

[JimR]

Autocrosses are not racing events, but "driver education" events for insurance purposes. Most people haven't had much trouble, but I've seen a rash of manufacturers like Mitsubishi and insurers like Geico combing or mining Solo event results for the purpose of denying warranties and coverage. Here are a couple of recent examples:

Insurance coverage dropped by Geico

Drivetrain warranty dropped by Mini/BMW

Most autocrossers are driving a registered, insured street car at our events. Right now we've been making full names and full make and model information available online. Is this a good idea anymore?

I don't know what programming or technology we have at our disposal to keep legit competitors informed about results online (a big deal to many people) while keeping out prying corporate eyes. I thought I'd bring this up while we're developing a new web site. Would it be better to use initials for first or last names, and only show the make?

That is an excellent idea!

we could do first name last initial. and just put a simple make. or we would password protect the results. you sign up for forum access and you have results access type of thing
