Again, it goes back to what you do "on the track" just like "on the street". There is very little done on the track that would invalidate aspects of your warranty you couldn't do on the street if you are doing non-competitive tracking.

While there are always exceptions, dealers don't go looking for a reason to invalidate your warranty outside what is obvious when you bring your car in to them. Why would the dealer want to turn down work they could legitimately get paid for (by the factory)?

In fact, I've had dealers (Honda, GM, Toyota) go out of their way to try and get repairs approved.

The witch-hunt that was part of the original article here is an exception and really came after what had become an adversarial situation (rightly or wrongly) but I don't think it is the norm.
