Definitely check your own insurance company.

Also be mindful & cautious of others around you on the track. I've been to many events in my delsol VTEC and later the S2000 (usually Buttonwillow and Streets of Willow).

Some of these are very professionally run (controlled passing, experienced/sane drivers with nothing to prove, run groups split up by experience, good corner workers with flags, real instructors present) and others quite amateurish (too many cars per run, new drivers with little experience & way too much car, random passing due to lack of concern for safety, bad "instructors").

You can also go up to an event and just watch them run. If you're comfortable with the organizers of that group, then go with them next time.

If you've never been on the track, ask an instructor to take you out (their usually quite happy to) and show you the track in ANOTHER car (not yours, perhaps your girlfriend's old Accord?) or have another experienced S2000 driver take you out in their own car.

While the organizers should take the common sense steps necessary for safety, the ultimate reponsibility for bringing your ride home safe is in your hands!

By the way, once you go, you'll be hooked...the S2000 was meant to be on the track!!

Sorry, so wordy...Hope to see you out there.

Mike

it IS covered provided you are not "timed" in the actual event....and if you are, just don't "hang on" to the slips...the actual event can be consider "schooling" thus providing you with a discount on your actual premium....
And that's it, we now have the final definitive word. So, if you are ever at any kind of track/driver-ed/auto-cross event, and end up on your head, don't worry, because Z06-KILLR said you're covered.

this is what I am talking about. Now Z0-6, Cdelena, Coral doc and a few others are ***telling*** others how it works. Ya, we all want it to be covered, but don't ***tell*** anyone anything... offer some sound advice but don't make people believe you then f-up their car to find out they are not insured....

Do you guys (cdelena, coral doc, zo-6, etc...)have an umbrella policy for these others just in case your advice is wrong???
