Acutally David, they haven't build it yet and we still came!

Bob tried to post here after registering, but for some reason he can't get through. He wanted me to post about a new feature on the HPR site.

So, would you please do me a favor and post my sincere thanks to all who attended the site visit and to also extend an invitation to join the HPR Email News Service. This is a new feature on the website. Users can sign up to receive an email about future news releases, news about new items on the website, etc. We'd encourage people to do this as a means of being quickly alerted to any significant news related to the track and/or website additions. For details and how to sign up, please have them visit the CONTACT US page of www.highplainsraceway.com

Cheers and thanks again for your keen interest in HPR.

Just signed up for the HPR e-mail alerts. This is another "field of dreams" that is materializing before us!

Here's another thanks to Bob for the tour, and Dave and Darrell for setting it up. Seeing the plans on paper just don't come close to showing you the reality of what the track will be like, but standing out there on the property, seeing the elevation changes, the surface countours, and the staked-out track layout give one a good appreciation for what looks to be a very well-thought-out track design. There are a couple of turns that, if executed correctly during the final layout and construction, could be real signature, 'oh-$h!t' turns along the lines of Kamikaze at Second Creek.

I'm already looking forward to coming off track after that first session and comparing notes with everyone on our new playground!

So, I posted a similar question over in:
https://my350z.com/forum/autocross-road/298221-geico-2.html

I wonder what anyone has done in Colorado.

When this track opens up, how will you insure your car?

Any trusted track-insurers in Colorado?
Looks like entering a track just about voids your insurance, timed
event or not.(Varys a little by company)


Any tips, hints or links are welcome! Thanks. :-)

Check with your insurance company, but some company acutally insures you when its and HPDE course because it's not a racing event, but rather a safety course.

NVM...I guess this topic is already covered in the linked threads.

I'd suggest you contact a small underwriter like K & K insurance, not any of the major insurance companies, for a quote. The premiums will be high and probably not within reach of most Z owners.

IMHO- your best insurance is to go with a structured HPDE program. For example, Nissan Sport will be co-sponsoring two days of HPDEs at the California Speedway this weekend. Less than $200/day for instruction and four structured on-track sessions. SCCA and NASA also run great programs that offer limited liability and health insurance.
