.... get "list of exclusions".... check. .... look into supplemental disability..... check. Thanks guys, you've been a big help. Most people's responses on this subject (on this site and others) are crass and uninformative. This was really productive. You guys rock!!!!!!

I did what I really didn't want to do and called my Ins Co. to ask point blank what is covered (they logged the call, and what it was about for "future reference"), which I had been avoiding. We all know each Ins Co is different, and they all have different plans, but my particular one covers any type of crash, as long as I'm not getting paid to race. I hope this is the norm, for everyone else's sake. I don't think getting paid to race is gonna be an issue for me I really appreciate everyone's input, and the link. I would hate to know what a heli ride costs, and am gonna get in contact. Thanks!!!!

Soooo...... I have posted about this in the past, and not really gotten things figured out. A little backstory: I have done a fair amount of track days over the past 4 seasons, and wanted to try my hand at actual racing. I went to Nelson Ledges for school and to get my certification so that I could do some Motoseries rounds and hopefully vintage days at Mid-O (I'm and SV guy). It was my first time at Nelson and third lap 'round I went wide out of the carousel and long story short, ended up with a $71,000 collar bone. It's my understanding that I am lucky in that I did this during a track day practice session, so I was covered under my normal health insurance policy. It's also my understanding (and someone please correct me if I don't have accurate info) that I were to have done this, say, during a race on Sunday that I would not have been covered and had to foot the bill, putting me MASSIVELY in debt. I have been looking around at supplemental insurance like AFLAC, but the policies they offer wouldn't have even come close to covering my last accident, if it were to have happened on Sunday. So what do you guys that race do? Is there something I am missing/don't know about? Do you have supplemental insurance? I would much appreciate any input or opinions and thanks for your time in advance.

Great vid, perfect music.

I am, just not the right day....... I guess I'll be there on Tuesday. I'm doing Putnam the 28th, and don't think my body will let my do three consecutive track days (I'm not even sure about two this close together). So are you gonna bail on work and go both days?! You're in better shape than me Come on................. Come on................. You know you want to.

Me too. Really, I'd rather do both though..............

You got a great shot of me, Thanks!

Don't you just love these little GoPro's? A person can try to explain something all day, but it's just not the same as seeing things in real time. I have a good bit of footage of you that I will have posted up sometime in the near future. Maybe if I up the amount of stars in my paint job, I'll make my way up the awesome list (jk, she told me you're not fond of those). It was really cool to see how much faster you got over the course of one day. Hope to see you out there again!

Holy crap that was close. I'm Glad I was already going to the left of them. Good riding with you today............

Ha! Yeah, I've got some money to burn, but the 107% thing definitely isn't happening on my li'l SV (or any other bike with me on it, for that matter). I seem to remember reading somewhere that SVs can run with the vintage guys though? Ima go look around.......................

Are there any events @ Mid Ohio that a novice could participate in? I started doing track days with the idea of getting into racing, but my work schedule only allows me to get away for one day at a time, which has pretty much limited me to doing PTRs in Lexington. I would love to try a race, just for fun (like redkow). Also, what kinda disability insurance (if any) do you racers carry?

I did. Well, I ran I most of the day, then the last two sessions I got to try out A. This is my first time signing up for A.

I'll be riding a red SV650 in A group. I have black, white and gray Gericke leathers. Stop by and say "hey" if any of you feel so inclined............

I hope it's still on, I signed up on Wednesday. I'll be there Tues, regardless.
