Ruadhd2 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Having a hard time finding out racing school insurance for the 7. Also, is there anything wrong with using a full face motorcycle helmet at the track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Some tracks require an "automobile" helmet as the criteria for motorcycle and auto are quite different. When you price them you will see the difference and just because they are listed under "automotive helmets" on some sites does not mean they have the correct designation to pass at the track. Auto helmets must meet multiple impact and flame retardant standards that bike helmets don't have to. They are also allowed more cut out next to the eye.

Kitcat Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Typically need a Snell approved helmet and Moto helmets are not. My State Farm car ins covers "drivers schools". It paid for auto-x damages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Snell and other DOT sanctioning groups use a letter designation (it's on line but don't have the link handy) as they do provide ratings for motocycle, off road and other types of helmets specific to different sports, down to your kids pedal bike.

blubarisax Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) Snell helmets have a year designation on them. If you get one for track days be sure to get a 2015 approved helmet so it will be good for another 10 years. (my bad, should have said 2010) Edited June 9, 2011 by blubarisax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxologist Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 the most current SNELL standards are the 2010s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannon Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Snell SA2010 for cars, M2010 for motorcycles. Check with the sanctioning body to see whether motorcycle helmets are allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimrankin Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I'm not even sure if my coverage will work anymore because some of the newer changes by the major insurers have slipped in disclaimers. The one you want to worry about is that if your "Driving School" holds it classes at a facility that also host "speed events" you are not covered. They are probably getting too many claims with the recent growth in organizations (HOD is a good example) putting really large numbers of "daily driver" comprehensive insured cars on track. Even though these are pretty safe events hitting much more than a cone cost big bucks these days. So if your agent tells you over the phone "your covered" have him send you a list of disclaimers if he has them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
