suggestions for medical insurance for racing

[typo41]

For those looking for insurance, please realize that Bonneville is not racing, it is time trials,, yes a thin line but that is what you tell your carriers.

Good advise.  We're not competing fender to fender.  Unless a diesel pickup shows up.

As was posted elsewhere on this site a long time ago (CRS). If something happens, tell them you had a rollover incident near I-80.

For us in the UK it costs us £250 ($400 ish) to run at Bonneville and be covered for an accident while trying to set a record on the salt. That price covers us for our usual travel insurance too, cancelled flights, lost luggage and getting  ill etc. I think that is quite reasonable.

Hey Peter,

I spoke to the company you suggested , they will only cover me if I am travelling from the UK.

Not saying they will understand what you are trying to do, 

But OAMPS have some Motorsports involvement via CAMS (I realise LSR has nothing to do with CAMS)

Might be worth calling OAMPs for a specific (tailored) quote?

If OAMPs are probably like AON who i use for FIM (Bubs and Shootout ) but will not cover me for WOS 
also if i read my travel insurance fine print right there is something in there about risky behavior, mountain climbing etc being excluded
i would think time trials fit in there if they were looking for an out
fell asleep and drove off I80 sounds like a good option

[Dr Goggles]

OK.

This is for the Aussies, I have cover for exactly what we're doing. There is a discount for DLRA members and it will cover you for all your travel insurance needs.

Contact me for the details.

For those traveling from Canada, I found that Ingle Insurance (helpline@ingleinsurance.com) out of Toronto will cover me for peanuts ($25) as long as the racing is not considered professional and there are no cash prizes. Canadian insurers simply fly you home if your accident is serious and you are well enough to be flown.  A friend of ours was flown home from New Hampshire to Nova Scotia in a private jet, rather than staying in the States for treatment after she broke her arm and her hip (not racing). Insurance company paid the bill.

AMA will also sell you a policy that I assume covers you for racing as well, as they are the sanctioning body at BUBs.  It only covers the first $5000 to $15,000 depending on which level you buy, but it may qualify as insurance for SCTA as well.

In any case, it would be good to get something in writing that you will be covered for "time trials" at an amateur    event!

Ouch!  I just received word from Ingle that they do not have coverage for motorized speed events this year.
