Don't think that this insurance pays for air ambulance transport, it doesn't. I know from first hand experience after an accident at a divisional. For that whole incident my health insurance and my personal pocket book payed out over $21,000 and Wisenberg Motorsports payed out $150.00. Wisenberg is the insurance for NHRA. Do not count on them helping you in any way. I fought with those people for months. The policy specifically states they do not cover air transport! Check your personal health insurance policy. A large percentage of those policies also do not cover air transport. Air ambulance is VERY expensive. My transport was 30 miles and the bill was $13,500. My insurance covered $10,000 and I was responsible for $3,500. NHRA advertises that Wisenberg will cover what your insurance doesn't, but, this doesn't apply to air and I was stuck with the $3,500. I would like the option of not buying the insurance for the event and self insuring because that is basically what happened to me.
