As @Decay107 says, ORP is a very safe track. lots of runoff area if you do go off. If you feel more comfortable, you can buy it off of the MotorsportReg site. Here's the link: http://www.motorsportreg.com/index.c...B42C2D7200FFF3

It's not just my driving and the track, but car-to-car collisions, too. This is my daily driver and I have to ensure that it is covered. Lockton do not list Team Continental as a club that it will insure and state that the event organizer has to contact them and meet their guidelines.

I have an email in to them and will let you know what happens.

Cheers!

Car to car collisions are nonexistent. Passing is only allowed in designated areas of the track and only when the driver being passed points the faster car by. It's not racing. The link I gave you will allow you to buy insurance.

I agree with @jblmr2 here, never seen a car v. car collision, only car v. track. If at any point you are uncomfortable with how close another car is you can slow down and point them by or pull in to the hot pits and give yourself some breathing room.

This link gives the same response I got...it goes to Motorsportreg, but when I hit the link for insurance, it goes to Lockton and then gives a 404 error.

We've been down in Southern CA. all winter. Can't wait to get back on ORP in a few weeks. It won't be this event, I'm still down here and will be at Willow Springs that weekend but if you can, don't miss this event. You won't find better teaching than TC or a more challenging track. And you can't beat Bill's lunch. The lunch is worth the drive in itself. BG

That's odd the time I bought insurance it worked fine and it was a TC event. Sorry but I guess you're on your own as far as that is concerned.

This is the reply I got. I am working with TC to figure this out:


Steven,


We don’t have an Organizer approved by that name and we have to have both an Approved Organizer and an Approved Track to offer our coverage. If they run under a different name, let me know and I’ll see if we have them approved and can list the event.

I would like coverage for a single HPDE event at Oregon Raceway Park with Team Continental. Could you see if you could provide coverage for this event, please?

Thank you.

This was just posted on the ICSCC forums from TC:

Obviously he's making his appeal to the racers but anyone wanting to volunteer to help TC fill these spots are welcome and needed.

Most folks aren't aware that all the member clubs of the ICSCC (which includes TC) are all 100% entirely volunteer organizations.. All the work that gets done to host these days and race weekends are done by volunteers.

Sometimes they that volunteer base is thin so if you can/want to help out please reach out.

Just want to post a quick thank you to Jim and the team at TC for working with me to get TC approved at Lockton Motorsport Insurance. It should be ready by Friday and then it will just be a case of setting up a hotel and we are done. ��

Great news!

About that Hotel.. Considering this is also a race weekend, there's lots of demand for hotel space.

You'll want to start calling places immediately. I booked my spot at the Crews house (BnB in Grass Valley) in Feb. But it's still worth a phone call!

The Road House and the Ranch in Grass Valley both are down dirt roads. One of which is down a long, narrow and very potted dirt where my van bottomed out a few times. FYI. Pretty much all the accommodations in the town of Grass Valley are people's houses.

A lot of folks like the accommodations (relative to the area) in Moro. Personally I chuckle everytime I read "Breaking Winds Lodge".

Took care of it last night! :)


Will be staying in Bigg's Junction...


Cheers!

Hey @sittinSideways and @paiceyfan, how did your day go at ORP? Hope you had a great time. Look forward to seeing you out there again.

Had a great time...what a great bunch of people. Just did not realize how track capable this car is...much better handling than my previous SI. I was watching some of your runs...you looked quick! :)
