If you drive it TO the track, yes, if you tow it, no. ---

Hehe yup. I’d still look into getting some form of insurance, b/c there’s nothing more fun than occasionally unleashing a track built race car on public roads :lol: Not that I condone such a thing. ---

Best bet is to at least open a policy, for fire + theft, based on the appraisal value of the vehicle. Then when/if you want to drive it on the road, extend liability to the policy for a month at a time. Insurance companies are pretty cool with doing things like this as long as you already have an open policy for the vehicle. ---

Get at least fire & theft on it which shouldn’t be more than $50-$60 per year. Also if you don’t keep fire & theft on it, when you do go and try and insure it they will rape you since you kept an uninsured vehicle. ---

Also if you don’t keep fire & theft on it, when you do go and try and insure it they will rape you since you kept an uninsured vehicle. Fire and theft SHOULD be based on the appraisal value (14a policy I believe) if it’s anything special like a collector car, race car, or any car with a lot of modifications and money invested into it. In which case, comprehenseive (fire+theft) should be around $20 a month. Last thing you want is for a car that you have sunk $20,000 into to get stolen, and you’re left with the book value. 😢 ---
