Track Day insurance
 
I am have booked my a race day in my ZR1 in June. I currently have a regular car insurance with Allstate which is dirt cheap. I think it would be a good idea to have insurance coverage for the track. Its only going to be 2 short 15 minute sessions on Pocono Raceway. I have booked the session with 877stockcar.com.

Do you guys have any suggestions which company to use and what the cost is?

I'm assuming you mean a "track day" and not a "race day", which are two different things. If that is the case, try Lockton or OnTrack insurance. Both understand HPDE insurance very well and can provide a policy. Rates are dependent on how much you are insuring it for, what deductible you choose and for how many days/events.

Furthermore, if you are serious about learning how to drive your car on a track, you should engage with a group dedicated to on track instruction and driver safety. PCA, NASA, CHIN, SCDA and others are good choices for this.

RLI Track Day Insurance

RLI was the underwriter for Lockton. Now they sell directly. Once in a while I compare RLI and Lockton for an upcoming HPDE and am surprised by the savings using RLI.

I am not really serious about to learn it. I have a convertible so most tracks don't allow this car, I had a few times where I was in jail with one foot, so I decided to stay out of trouble. This track is mostly straights, so I wanna haul ass for a few minutes and get it out of my system so I don't do it on public roads anymore.

Thanks for the info.

I use RLI for most of my track events. They are easy to deal with and rates are the best I’ve found(though everyone is very close).

I have not had to file a claim, thank goodness. So I can’t speak to that process or experience, and hopefully never will.

I am guessing you are not going to use your own car. Unless it's a program I am totally unfamiliar with, which is entirely possible, that is probably a stock car experience. Typically they provide the cars.

Yes, they do provide a car. But after that session is over you get to drive your own for two 15 minute sessions.

:thumbs:. Have a great time.

I happen to use RLI for track insurance.

I use Hagerty Track Insurance. I think the underwriter is RLI but I have found the insurance through Hagerty is almost always lower cost than Lockton even when I get the BMW Event Discount from Lockton. Just priced out a 3 day event at VIR through both. Lockton $464.00 and after BMW discount $423.00. Hagerty without any discount $393.00.
