NHRA Auxiliary Pit Vehicle Policy - Is this new?

[FED 387]

NHRA has excess liability insurance coverage thru Wells Fargo Motorsports a division of Wells Fargo Insurance---they handle the liability and probably lay a portion of it off to other insurance companies however they I'm sure will not share any of that info aboutwho the other carriers are--Comp

Don't laugh Daran.Here in the Socialist State of NJ you can get a DUI on a bicycle at the track.

I bring a bicycle to divisional and national events and it does not count as a pit vehicle. It looks like an ATV convention at most races and an underwriter walking in from the parking lot would see all the zipping around close to walking spectators and crewmembers and run screaming into the night...right after he dropped off the cancellation notice at the tower. Those are the facts from an insurance guy's perspective. Racers refuse to downsize their pit vehicles or get control of their underage drivers, so NHRA's insurers are doing it for you.

The last sentance says it all.....Wake up people !

When I win the Megga Millions I'm gonna do a big old fat wheelie with the rest of the wolfpack mooning Gran and the rest of the toolbags! Oh all while drinkg our beer on the golf cart!

If I won the mega million or power ball for a ton of money Id buy both IHRA and NHRA, get rid of the Pro's except for maybe Pro Stock. Trash the alky cars and all the circus acts including the heads up motorcycle stuff. Then get Travis Miller and Dave Ley plus a few from IHRA to run it for me while I sat up in the tower and drank beer (or whatever) with Keith and a few others.....LOL. I would call it the RHRA.....Racers Hot Rod Association.

It says right there in their rules that you can't give any of NHRA's upper management a ride.

Oh yes....He is on the list. I worked with him in 1974 in NHRA. He is top notch also. Now where did I put that power ball ticket I just bought?
