That is when talent shows up! After that then the wreckers

I went there once and cars were piling up faster than Cheeseburgers at White Castle.

One guy had a new Mallet and was bragging and piled it up in less than two laps. Lucky he had insurance @ 550 per day with 5000 deductible.

You will have fun great track you need two sessions to know where you are.

Hopefully the weather will match the forecast. It has been snowing in the area today. Temps have been in the upper 30s and lower 40s with brisk winds and snow.

i see this
Please remember this is a Physical Damage policy only and does not include liability coverage.
Walking away from my car is easy. Walking away from a lawsuit with personal injury involved is not so easy no matter what a track release says. From what you said today if you even hit a person in the pits you have no coverage I think?

John,
The way a number of groups policies work is if you sign the waiver you are covered by their liability insurance. Can't say it is that way for every one but I know several whose policies are that way.

What do you mean by group policy? No even I ever attended had a group policy for my liability. PDA's insurance would do me ZERO good I am guessing? Bill are you saying the event policy covers you on track or in the pits or both?

If CodeBlack,s policy or others excludes events wonder if would include the pits not just on the track surface?

I am ready to go. Just picked up a new set of RE-11's from CBI and Devon finished prep on the car. All fluids + a new Z06 oil cooler, tranny cooler, and new pfadt bushings. Car feels good. Looking forward to a fun couple of days.

Thanks again to Greg and Steve N for transporting my wheels. Devon is going to mount the new tires and have them ready for pickup on Saturday.
