Damn, thats crazy, sounds like something ford would pull. They prolly paid off the tracks around the country to collect car data for them.2003 shadow gray cobra

If true, HIGHLY illeagal.
First off there is already leagal presidance for automanufactures who produce vehicles and advertise them with performance specs, that they can not refuse warrenty repair for customers who persue that performance in which they advertise.
Secondly if the auto manufatures truely had the man power to fallow every person around that races new cars, there wouldnt be anyone left in the factory to build them.
And third. Such a situation would fall under the deffinition of harrasment and invasion of privacy. Dispite the public race track, the fact that both actual dates and times have been collected, isolates the collected data directly to vehicle/person in question.
Not only would any lawyer out there have a field day with this, but any judge would have to strike such evidance from record because of the illeagal way in which it was collected.I send myself PM's so I roll with a full inbox! Sweet35th style!Comment

Al with the SS had a ver similar thing happen to one of his friends down in TN, I think it might have been the guy with the firehawk but im not sure, im sure he can add to this but i think one of the local dealers saw his friend grenaded his 10 bolt or something at the track and refused to warrenty it, similar thing happend to Nick with the 02 Z28, they found rubber on the inner wheel wells and i think they flaged his car at all the dealers to watch for another rearend to go out and told him if it happens again its not coverd.Comment

WELL CASEY I WOULD HAVe to agree with you to a point...... but heres the kicker..... if the person giving this information to the dealer is not being paid by the dealership they have no case.... so lets say the district rep is a racerOriginally posted by Sweet35th

while he's off the clock see's you racing your car your screwed.... you would have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the dealer was there just to nail you and you couldnt....

Chris given the facts that the pictures were specificaly of his car, and the times he raced were noted. Its pretty obvious what the onlooker was there to do.
And on your argument, if a onlooker with no affiliation to mitsubishi supplied the info to the mitsu. A lawyer could argue (quite well I would add) that said person did not have rights to distribute pictures of the individuals vehicle to a comercial company. If they were released to an insurance company that would be different, or even to another private party. But they must have consent to give/use pictures for comercial use........There is more involved than that.
However if this vehicle in question had previous repair work done under warrenty that warrented question of its cause. Having a investigator moniter local tracks, albeit questionable ethics, would probably hold up in court with the info obtained.I send myself PM's so I roll with a full inbox! Sweet35th style!Comment
