Driver's Ed in a new car

[insite]

these cars are MADE for the track!! i couldn't imagine NOT participating in AutoX or DE while owning one. i can understand warranty concerns, etc. i'm an immediate gratification kind of guy, though, so those thoughts exit my mind the instant i pull out of the pit.

bmussatti - if you're concerned with the broomstick rule, there is a kit you can buy that lowers your seat by about 2" while still allowing it to slide properly back and forth. i think brey-krause makes it.

alternatively, you can go for GT3 seats or a brey-krause roll bar extension (or you can just scoot the seat forward, lean the seat back, and scrunch down for tech inspection )

What about track insurance? There's quite a discussion underway on Rennlist about it. Does anyone here who's tracking their cars use any track insurance, and if yes, from where?
Thx.

that participate in either club sponsored DE's or auto-x, none buy any special insurance. That question came up recently at an event and a raise of hands showed that none of the participants carried any special insurance. Not all had new cars but a number of people had cars that were only a year or two old. As one of instructors comented," we can put you in contact with insurance people that will take your money if you feel it is important".

I know that there is a vendor in PCA that does advertise providing insurance for DE's; for the life of me, I can't imagine getting it for auto-X.
