There was a thread yesterday on Yellow Bullet on this issue. Couple of the guys had total losses . Some interesting reading. Hagerty got really high marks and approval. Anybody know of ones we should stay clear of ?
One guy was saying his hood flew off coming up the return road and since it happen on the road, and not actually on the track, his company paid the repairs. .

That's good to hear about Hagerty...I called them yesterday for a quote, and for $25k agreed value the premium is only $119 / year. I'm going to raise the value and also add the $125 a year for roadside assistance, which covers ALL owned vehicles! They told me the coverage is in force everywhere except "where the public is not allowed" at the track.

Hagerty is very good and pay If you have a claim
Very quickly.

Hagerty has a very good reputation in the collector car market. I will call them in the morning.

Well, I called Hagerty this morning and ended up staying with Gulfways. For me Hagerty was about 20% more than Gulfways. I may of found a better source but I ran out of time.

In my research, I was suspect of "the fine line". Many insurers proclaim " You car is completely covered if it's not on the race track." Ok, I got that ..... To which I replied: so, It's covered in the pits, and staging lanes, and on the return road? Well, "kinda", I was told, As long as you're not driving it ! ( What?). - Rule of thumb - "It's covered unless the engine is running." Maybe a good argument to the sanctioning bodies for tow vehicles ? They'd love that !!! - BEWARE. - Jim-
