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.

I have to agree that you shouldn't race unless you can afford to completly walk away from your car.

But why lie about the use, you are racing, call it what it is and get Insurance or a Bond. Yes you will have to look around and if no coverage exist, start your own Insurance/Bond Pool. Loyds of London, I'm sure will cover you for whatever event and whatever limits you might want/need.

You have history at each of the tracks with each type of event, so you have satisticial data to draw from. You can use that information to get a policy for yourself or the Group. I would think the SCCA, POC, etc. etc. is large enough to have an umbrella policy that only covers, death or serious injury. That should be covered in the Event Fee for spectators as well as participants.

Racing cost money and Insurance should be part of the cost.
