Pit vehicle insurance

mopar jeff · 07-06-2010, 12:42 PM

I tried searching the forum, but can't find anything about this. I am going to my first National this month, and have heard people talk about having insurance on golf carts or motorcycles they drive around in the pits. Can anyone give me some details on this, or tell me where I can find the info from NHRA. Thanks.

Try an independent insurance agent , Mine got my golf cart insured thru Formost Insurance Co. ....Very reasonable , about $55 a year. ....Tom

Before you buy ins check and see if your home owners covers it. Mine did and my agent just made me several copy's that showed it (golf cart) was covered...........end of story.

I will do that. My question was more wondering do I actually need it, versus who can I get it through.

Jeff,

It is my understanding that what you need for your pit vehicle
is liability insurance incase you run into someone or something.

And you should be able to get a rider from your auto insurance
to cover that need.

But yes you will have to prove you have such insurance for your
pit vehicle and they will then give (sell?) you a sticker to place
on your pit vehicle.

I have two golf carts--pay about $75 a year for the two--carry the proof of insurance--never been checked--I run a half dozen national events a year--still carry the proof, in case.
