DE Events and Insurance, What insurance carrier to you use? Options

[flat4tom]

Hello all,

It was my intention all along to take my 914 out to a DE event at Thunderhill Raceway when it was ready. I've finally got the car running well enough to be thinking about this.

What insurance company(s) do you use to insure your street drivable 914 when you take it to a DE track event?

Currently, my other 'classic' cars are insured with Grundy Worldwide...no I haven't contacted them yet but will be. I just wanted to know who other people were using and why?

Thanks for any info. I've never participated in a DE event before so this is all new to me.

If you crash your car, you were NOT racing, you were taking a driving course AT a driving facility and you had an instructor in the car at all times.
You were not racing, period. You should be covered. Call your existing insurance company and ask them if you are covered for driver's education events. DO NOT use the words race or racing, ever. I couldn't even get shop insurance until I learned not to say racecar when describing my business.
When I've gone to POC events that's what they told us concerning driving our street cars on the track, don't even mention timing your laps and deny that you were being timed if possible.
Our local PCA rents a track a couple of times a year and they don't allow timing because they can't afford the insurance for the event if there is any timing going on. Some guys still use their own hot lap timers but fortunately the PCA guys can't see very well sometimes.
