One of our local track clubs recommends this company:

http://hpdeins.locktonaffinity.com/

This is single-event damage insurance specifically for HPDEs. It does not include liability and the minimum deductible is $1,000. I plugged in a $10,000 agreed value and got a premium of $68 for a 1-3 day event.

Thought you all might be interested.

I met with Lockton Affinity a few months back. It seems like a pretty straight forward program, the event you are going to do needs to be approved beforehand. And for example he said they would need photos of why I felt my 84 RX-7 was worth the $10,000 I insured it for before I balled it up on track. I know that the next HPDE I run in my RX-7 I would look strongly into using them.

I have way too many blood, sweat, and tears (not to mention money) in that car to loose it all over trying to save a hundred dollars. The gentleman I met runs an E30 race car wheel to wheel and has run HPDEs so they are racers too.

I feel like some of our HPDE cars might be smaller fish when they have guys with new M3s and 911s out on track. At a recent PCA event we saw a street GT3 that hit a wall at Daytona. I did not envy that gentleman, however everyone walked away.

It seems like this program will allow more people to get out on track that couldn't afford that risk before.
