[Fot] health and accident insurance for race car drivers

[Chuck Arnold]

I know Pacific Raceways does.  A fellow driver had a bicycle accident
at the track that resulted in $20,000 injury.  He was on the way to
the hot pits where another driver was driving hos race car.  Got run
over by another racer on his bike [cannot keep those Pro 3 BMW guys
from racing even when not in their cars].  My friend did not have any
medical insurance.  The track insurance paid the bill.
