Just another point of view regarding insurance:
In all of my racing since 1969, towing to about 15 events per year with
average yearly mileage of approximately 20,000, I never experienced one race
car or trailer loss. At $150 per year my savings on insurance is
approximately $4,500 and with interest and compounding that equates to about
$10,000, enough to buy my last race car, an IMCA Modified. . . . Ron

Bill, I'm glad you were able to get good coverage for your race car - I
think every one should cover their car because things do happen. Paul and I
covered our street rod (and several people have covered their race cars,
trailers and storage facilities) with insurance from Motorsports Insurance

The owner, Bob Leggio, is an avid land speed racing fan and has been just
great with everyone we know, when it comes to insurance coverage for race
cars, etc.
I don't know which states Bob can write policies for, so give him a call if
you have a life's work and savings sitting unprotected in your garage.
