Its not the insurance company, sucking the tracks dry, it’s the lawyers sucking the insurance dry . Regarding the release, there’s no release on the face of the earth that excuses someone from negligence and most of the lawsuits claim negligence, whether there is any or not. And yes, our government relations people are working on about five or six...

The regional has been 64 - 72 riders per class since at least 2003

We really struggle to find a promoter who can make it work. Our last one really struggled.

We allow them to ride the areas without trying to qualify because it helps the promoter with the success of the event.

Sometimes officials want to make sure it is not an administrative error which does happen from time to time. If they dq someone on race day and it turns out they were wrong, they can't...

We have tons of Chartered clubs that run races and racetracks / series. I am currently working with an AMA promoter in the PNW to bring more AMA activity to your area. Insuring events that dont follow AMA is a tough one. Our insurance program is a benefit to our members and promoters. Extending this benefit to non AMA members...

Never say never. With all of the new technologies emerging, at some point it might be the answer if new classes were to be added.
