Working on it.

I would guess they are just ignoring us a bit. The alternative would be to do what they do, which I bet is joining a kart club affiliated with their sanctioning body & then getting a race licence from their sanctioning body.

This would raise some eyebrows but oreso would have extra expense & no benefit to race in other events that an MNZ licence does.

I'm getting quotes on 'one event sporting and legal defence liability cover' just to confirm the info I've already had.

Chris is checking with the Kart guys on options.

I still working at this...

You could talk too CliffHanger Productions. They do private insurance instead of MNZ way for the Hill Climb. However they run MNZ for the sprints. Could be worth a call =).

Yeah, I got a quote: it's posted here for privacy. Kinda out of the question for so few entries.

I commend your efforts Skunk. But I’m not really sure of any gain to what MNZ offer for both you and the riders. I personally would encourage any rider to join a club and get a MNZ licence, especially if they look at travelling to other meetings.

On the side, how many riders know if there current life insurance, income protection and health insurance policies cover them for motor racing ??? I’m currently having an argument with mine again, esp with having a sidecar…

That is a good question.

Yes, that's what I have agreed to with my life insurance (not insured when on the track, though for some reason dirt and road riding is ok??? go figure).... But people should think about checking up on it.

more reason to be a MNZ licence holder; even if it is a token amount $$. unless that has changed now as well ???

End of that conversation. :slap:

My Insurance is signed off for racing, BUT only for buckets the motard at club level...... step outside that and its not covered (life insurance, income protection and health insurance). Its a battle but worth pursuing, it is a curly as I could own a 1k sportsbike and roadride (which I consider more dangerous)with them not even being worried.

Oh man I am SO looking forward to getting back to the track once I'm back in the country... All they seem to ride is Harley's over here in Canada, then again there's no corners to keep one entertained.
