Attention Riders and Fans,

I want to let everyone know that we are having some issues with our insurance for this event and that there is a possibility that it will either be cancelled or postponed. The deal is this: the track required us to have a $5 million participant policy for our event. We started working with multiple insurance companies 4 months ago in search of that $5M policy. Approximately 1.5 months ago, we received a quote for a $1 million policy. We talked to the track to see if they would accept the $1M policy, and they still required us to have a $5M policy. So, our agent continued to work on getting us a $5M policy and he assured us that it would be no problem obtaining the additional $4 million.

A month prior to the event we contacted our agent to find out what the status was. He promised us, based on his 20 years experience, that we WOULD have our insurance and that it would be OK to start promoting the event. So we did.

This week, the track contacted us and told us that we have a deadline of 24 hours to secure our insurance or else we can’t hold the event. Once again, we contacted our agent and he assured us that we would have it by the deadline. Well, here it is, one week from our event and we still don’t have it. There is still a chance that it will come through, but I can’t guarantee it. Our agent tells us that this is unlike anything that he has ever seen and that he is working feverishly trying to get us insurance.

As you might understand, this is the last thing I wanted to have happen. We waited on announcing the NSRA until we had everything in place so that something like this wouldn’t happen, and it still did. We are not going to give up on this until the track forces us to, but we want to make sure everyone that was making plans knows the whole story and that there is a definite possibility that Nov. 23rd Gainesville Raceway will not happen. I will keep you all updated as I find out more information.

If it comes down to it, you could always try to reschedule and hold the event at Orlando Speed World, or maybe even Lakeland. I hope it doesnt come down to that. Good luck with the insurance, I cant wait for the show!!!!

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

 

UPDATE.......................NSRA EVENT IS ON!

I want to let everyone know that the 2003 NSRA National Championships are going to take place this Sunday, November 23rd, at the Gainesville Raceway. Click here for directions.

Tickets are $16 at the gate for General Admission. NSRA members get in for $10. Click here to find out more about becoming a member.

We have had some of the local riders offer to house those of you traveling from out of town and I think that is an awesome gesture. Click here to find out more info.

We have secured the insurance needed and everything is a GO! This insurance doesn't come cheap, as a result we are going to be enforcing all of the rules listed in the NSRA rule book. If you are planning on competing and have not yet read the rule book, make sure you do so. Click here to view the NSRA rule book.

Just to highlight a couple of requirements for this event:

Participants are required to have health insurance. The reason for this is for the longevity of the sport. If we didn't require it, multiple claims resulting from injuries would cause our insurance company to drop us. When that happens, we can't hold events anymore.

Participants must pass Tech Inspection. The tech inspection requirements are listed in the rule book. Please make sure you review the rule book so that you can set up your bike ahead of time. All of the requirements are there for a reason, so don't think that we are doing this because it sounds like fun. It's all for the best interest of the riders.

Registration is limited to the first 40 riders. This must be done for time constraints because this is a one day event. In future events, there will not be a cap on the number of riders.

General Competition Procedures Just so everyone is clear, here is the general format of this event. There is one entry fee ($100) and one class to compete in.
