Track Day Insurance/Tools

1LEASYE · 01-23-2019, 02:12 PM

Which companies provide the best track day insurance and is there a long turn around time as far as getting a quote from any of these insurances companies?

Also, besides a tire pressure gauge, what are generally the tools most of you all carry to the track? I'll be driving just my SS 1LE to and from my track day down in March at Road Atlanta so the less items that I don't need to carry the better.

Tire pressure gauge, torque wrench with extension and lug nut socket, extra quart of oil, paper towels, windshield cleaner and a rag.. that's about it.

I haven't done track insurance yet as I've only been on a small, local track.

I use RLI / Hagerty track insurance I purchase it a week before the event but I could probably push it even closer to the event.

Really if you have the onboard electric air pump/ tire gauge you are good to go. You could just check the wheel nut torque the night before and call it good.

But if you really want to prepare for emergencies you can bring as much gear as you like. I was getting low on pad material when I made my 2nd Road Atlanta event so I brought a small cardboard box with new front and rear pads and a the tools required to change pads.

I also brought a spare quart of oil but I never needed it.

For insurance, usually RLI.

As for tools, here is my list:
plastic bin w/lid
torque wrench, extension and socket
breaker bar
multi-tool
tire gauge
microfiber cloth
paper towels
window cleaner
painter's tape
track tape to protect paint and tape down magnetic numbers (I like TrackArmour 6'' x 100')
plastic ziploc bags for small items (valve stem caps are the things I lose most)

Not tools, but good to bring if you have room:
folding chair
cooler and bottled water

RLI/Hagerty or Lockton. RLI is cheaper but I don't know anyone who's had to actually use the insurance. I do know people who have used Lockton and had no issues with payouts/etc.

Duct tape and zip ties.

kjchristopher · 01-23-2019, 05:53 PM

I use Hagerty

Rodan · 01-23-2019, 06:17 PM

RLI here as well. Hagarty uses RLI, it was a little cheaper to go direct to the source. Online quote and purchase... easy, peasy.

As far as tools/supplies, it all depends on how serious you are. If you're driving to/from and running on your street tires, a tire pressure gauge about covers it. You may need to air up after leaving the track and the tires cool down, but it's unlikely you're going to need fluids with a newer car. Wheels should be properly torqued before leaving.

From there, you can go as nuts as you want, only limited by available space. Most people don't go much further than a jack, torque wrench, and air tank if they're switching to track tires. An electric impact wrench is very handy. Once you get past track wheels/tires, your experience and your particular setup will drive your tool/supply needs.

Don't forget a chair, big hat, sunscreen, snacks and fluids!

Flush your brake fluid with dot 4. Bring a lug wrench and ck in am and at lunch. Use recommended oil. Air pressure gauge. Start at about 30 cold..be careful on g3s in cold temps. You can wait till day b4 for track insurance in case of weather or plans change.

I use On Track Insurance, usually buy a few events at a time to get some extra discount.

$30000 for a v6 1le: $177
