Default Racing insurance

I remember reading about this on here somewhere, but I can't remember where. My Camaro insurance is being canceled and I have to find another company. I asked MK insurance if I would be covered under their policy if I was racing just for fun and they said no. Does any collector car insurance cover you when you are drag racing? All of you who have the high dollar COPO and other super cars who are racing at SCR, are you running with no coverage?

Bill Lutz has race car insurance. He's on Yellowbullet quite a bit:

I've used Hagerty for driving of road courses. They are partnered with another company to provide track insurance.

https://www.hagerty.com/Insurance/Track-Day-Insurance

You can also try:

https://ontrackinsurance.com/
https://opentrack.com/

I've been recommended all three for HPDE insurance. Not sure if they cover drag racing.

Thank you. I'll check those too. I was told by MK that Hagerty didn't cover racing.

Bill is good with this from what I've heard, and a big racer as well. If they can't do it AND IT CAN BE DONE, he will let you know who can and how to do it.

$1500 a year, to go to one race. And that doesn't cover any street driving.

Think about what they are insuring... the problem is not just that it is racing, it is that it is NOT PROFESSIONAL RACING. Am racing is where the likelyhood of something going WRONG is MORE LIKELY, because when you are not in the practice of constant preparation and honing skills something will happen and if something goes wrong it is more likely to skew to the BAD SIDE.

So that's NOT ON-TRACK face car insurance? We need insurance BETWEEN the burn-out box and the return road.
