Thanks for bringing that up

Some insurance companies exclude any type of driving on a "racing surface" ... this is stupid, because what about the "Street Survival Skills" program that teaches teenagers real driving, hard core car control and accident avoidance? We do that at Gateway raceway, so that is a racing surface = not covered, but we're doing stuff that will ultimately LOWER accident claims payout made by insurance companies

Others exclude "any timed event"

I know which insurance companies are which

A DE, HPDE, PDX etc is NOT timed, that's the key

HOWEVER, be sure to check the "exclusions" section of your policy first before going on track

Sorry when you go to the track they usually make you sign away your life and soul, anyways.
That's in regards to releasing the track from liability, doesn't have anything to do with fixing any damage to your car

Yep, fortunately most of these will take place in May, but note you'll also be provided an umbrella stand and ample water, free lunch, etc

Good to bump into you ... I originally got involved in this forum selling my sister's car, but via the people here, I'm sorta' re-living my youthful rebellious side I think

What's "we're buying a house?" mean? What "we" are we talking about? Keith's a great guy so hopefully that's the answer???

Sorry about the track time, but I've got a win win idea on that I'll pm to you ... you've got how many track days at Gateway? 5-6? I recall you were quite smooth and ran a nice pace
I'm actually not over here much, lol....usually on the old stlpc board.

And yes, Keith and I just moved into our house last Wednesday! I'm actually sitting on a box right now typing b/c we aren't all unpacked yet.

And yes, I've done 6 track events at GIR....probably equalling around 8ish track days. I'll reply to your PM w/a PM :P

Bump on you guys that volunteered ... we've only heard from one so far

Please PM me what the issue is, or if you're backing out we need to know

No hard feelings, but hey, you'll be counted on if you give a "yes"
