Some companies will insure cars that are driven in a non-competitive manner 
(i.e. high performance driving schools, which is what we're doing here in the C 
and B groups), others won't.   Some companies will offer a one-day rider to 
your policy, but it's extremely expensive.

FWIW, we have *never* had an accident or any car damage among the B and C 
groups in over ten years.   The only car-to-car contact that took place happened 
many years ago, in the heat of the A-group race, when Charlie McCall and Gary 
Hall got together; they sorted it out in a gentlemanly manner between 
themselves and both cars were fixed

Your fears have some merit, but the fact is that you are much, MUCH more 
likely to damage your car on the drive to and from the hotel, than on the 
track....
