Angry Insurance isn't covering Track Days

I called up Insurance Money-Sucking Corporate America Agency and they said that they are no longer covering track days. So, now what? We take to the streets again like in the 80s and 90s or are there going to be an alternative form of legal and relative inexpensive form of racing?

Hot dang! They mention that someone's coverage got dropped after the current period expired JUST for inquiring about track day coverage for WRX STi, never mind participating in one! How can I approach my company is this is happening?

I guess insurance companies would like all of us to drive 20 mph under speed limit, keep our cars off the road as much as possible in garages and not use them for what they were meant to be...driving!...all the while of course paying their wallet gauging prices. End rant...

You'd think huh? It's just nice having that nice soft blanket of coverage in case ish hits the fan.

There is always that option...But it is also a little bit more difficult explaining...say...multiple rollover or complete side destruction damage than a local high way rear-ended

Plus, last thing I would want to get caught on is insurance fraud...For me it would probably mean loss of my job
