Storage/transport insurance for race car

Only place I recommend, Will.

 

Haggerty also

 

Holy Cow! That thing looks like a single seater LeMans car! Sick! More pix!!!

 

What did you turn? Bet your neck started hurting three laps in in T3 and T8.

I was there last Sunday running a friends old Royale S2 at just over 10 flat. Fergus' new record is only a 1:09.5.

Jean-Luc Liverato and Ken Tyrell are in the 1:02's in their latest WF-1's, quicker than Hurley Haywood or Brian Redman in Porsche 962's! The track's quick for sure! Jean-Luc has the track record at 1:02.007.

A local buddy bought Jaremko's RunOffs WF1. I think he'll lend it to me. We'll have to set a date at VIR!

Congrats, can't wait to see it (and you).

 

Yep, these cars are the BOMB. 1-liter bike engines and they're in the high 1:18's at Road Atlanta, 1:49's at VIR, 2:05's at Elkhart, 1:51's at the Glen, just insane.

Tunnels, the latest CFD to hone the body shape, state of the art construction, all for about a quarter of a F430GT and quicker, too. Built in the Pacific Northwest by a guy named Wayne Felch. Quicker than Atlantics, too.

Will's gonna have some fun now!

 

Terrific! Great for stock motor and especially without proper support. I'm glad you got it, but I thought you were headed in the IMSA Lites direction?

I think Jean-Luc, like many functioning at the top of their particular sandbox, decided after two or three years that there were too many zeroes behind the first numeral of the expense sum... He started in SRF, btw.

Merry Christmas, hope to see you at the track.

 

The equivalent West car is the IMSA Lites L:2 car and you can run in either L2 (which does have a masters class) or SCCA DSR. The '09 body is supposed to be quite good. The Stohr was the car to beat last year but I think the West will be a strong challenger this year.

Personally I think they're too expensive. You have to build the motor to be competitive and then they aren't reliable so you're always rebuilding.

 

Eric V had the new West at PRI. Looked good, but it'll be awhile before it threatens the WF-1.

 

what makes you say so?

 

Congrats for a great performance at the Sebring Nats. A very close second and you were miles ahead of the third place car What happened to Dorian? You should feel great, right on his time.

 

you only need to ask people. to run at the front, you need a built motor, no question.

top 6 finishers at the past runoffs all had built motors. Perry (p7) was the lead finisher without a built motor. He finished more than a minute behind the race winner.

at least that's what i've been told (by Perry), however i did just now see that p1 through p6 all had suzuki motors and Perry has the yamaha.

anyway in so light a car (ie, smallish HP improvements matter) there's really no question that if one person builds their motor everyone has to.

that's not to say it's not incredibly fun even if you have a standard motor. you just can't be competitive.

it's not cheap.

 

I had my insurance with Bonnie Madden at HEACOCK and did for many years. They had to use another underwriter a few years back (Sept 11 changes) due to my business diversity for some of my multiple policies required (CCR Motorsports Insurance). Now I deal directly with Sean Schwartz and CCR Motorsports Insurance. Sean has been awesome and frankly I have better coverage for less money. They insure one of my race cars, my building, my business liability, my 54' and 48' transporters, my tow truck, my insurance needed for renting a tractor from Penske, all my equipment in the shop and on the road, garage keepers liability, workman's comp as well as my racing liability too. http://www.ccrins.com/index.html

 

well let me clarify, when i say competitive, i mean able to podium when competing with the best in the country. i don't see how it's possible for you to be 15HP down and still compete. and if we're talking about a national level highly competitive series -- like pro mazda -- we're talking about strong competition.

i'll take that bet.

 

Thanks, good info.

 

Meh. The RunOffs are just one race. It's been a one or two horse (now three) show for nearly a decade, so what. There are a heck of alot more WF-1's around than go to the RunOffs. Besides, the xSR classes, because of their open rules nature, have had historically wider gaps between competitor performance than a lot of other classes. That's just more apparent at the RunOffs.

I agree with Will on this one. A proper professional driver with some experience and chassis tuning could likely beat JR, Mark and others, especially at a place that is not WFO and simple, like Elkhart. Remember, it's just "fun" racing. People are paying, not being paid.

Can't wait to get in Mark Jaremko's 2008 RunOffs WF-1 at the end of next month at my local track...

Rock on, Will.

 

and how would said driver fare against another proper professional driver with chassis tuning and a built motor?

 

well if you agree about pro mazda, then you agree period. i only mentioned pro mazda because you mentioned it! if you're not talking about being nationally competitive then ignore me.

BTW, nice car.

 

That's why they don't give out trophies for testings, practice and qualifying!
