I have asked this question several times from NHRA officials and have never received an answer. What does the insurance cover? I have auto insurance and I know my coverage. Homeowners and I know my coverage. Why can't we get an answer? Tell me why I am paying it and I might feel better about shelling it out, probably not! In my opinion it is to cover the pro catagory not the sportsman.

This would be a great topic for John Debartimalao ( sorry John if I miss spelled your name) in Drag Racer mag. Maybe he is reading this and could look into it,

Hey Folks

Dont usally say much in this forum, I just thought I would put in my thoughts
I liked the comment about no Sports Nationals Insurance surcharge so that got me digging in my paper work to see if we can figure out what we are really paying for.

In 2008 The Pro teams needed these minimuns and others to compete
Comprehensive general liability 2mil general aggregate 1mil each occurance
1 mil products and completed operations liability
1mil personal and advertising injury
Auto liability
500k hired/nonowned
500k owned auto liability
Employers liability
1mil injury by accident
1 mil injury by diease each employee

Looks pretty heavy to me

Not being real knowlegeable about insurance, I guess the teams insurance always is primary in event something happens, NHRA kicks in after that.

So we as competitors all sign the waviers at the gate, like any other race track we race at, and have the same insurance all the time.

My only thought is what group of people dont sign a wavier when they come to see the races?

NHRA = Government
Racer = Middleclass
They both do what ever they want with no regards to the people.
Just bend over cause it's coming
