Geesh ... speaking of bad luck. | ||

Yup, that is my local trackday track. They just got done doing a ton of construction nearby and are just getting ready to build more new houses. From what I understand the track officals aren't real thrilled about it since its also used for the Bob Bondurant school and they are reporting a rash of nailed tires in their CTS student cars that stay at the track. | ||

Ouch, That looks as bad as when I got a yard dart through my foot when I was a little kid. I could only walk in circles.  JT | ||

On a serious note, if you race and go down hard enough to require medical attention does that come out of your pocket? I know you're OK during track days because you are not racing for cash or prizes at least that's what I've been told. | ||

There is insurance available for racers. You should also read the clauses for your motorcycle insurance as they too don't count trackdays as being covered. | ||

Thanks Wyckedflesh, It will be worthwhile to investigate this over the winter, in preparation for a busy track day season next year. Do you happen to know a company that racers use? | ||
| Wyckedflesh |
I use Progressive for my insurance and can purchase "Race" insurance as a seperate policy. You might try picking up or looking through some of the racer magazines like Road Racing World to see who is advertised in there. | ||

I hit a bird once at about 75, caught me at the top of my helmet. I had to pull over because I felt pretty dizzy, much faster I'm sure it would have put me down for the count, not a good thing when your moving. Nail at 160, that's just plain freaky. | ||

I'd say he was lucky it got him in the shoulder. |
