I have mine with Kincaid. Cars, trailers, spares, etc. The only time that I am not covered is when I am on the racing surface.

Would you mind sharing what your monthly premiums are? You can shoot me a PM if you would like.

i have mine insured w/ farmers as a parade car, 3,000 mi or less a year, and not covered on track surface (which means if i take a dump on the track i need to drive it out to the street into a pole,lol) my premium is 6mo at $578 and for $35,000 for loss of vehicle.

HOLY COW that premium is rediculously high IMO... Would they even cover you if it got damaged in the pits at the track?

Do a search on this in the drag section, tons of info.

State Farm said they will insure me and all my mods but will not insure the car if its being raced at the track.

In other words I am on my own there.

From what they and others have said most homeowners does not insure the car in the garage, the car insurance does, only boats are coverd.


If you tell them the car is raced then yes you pretty much have to pay for the war hahaha.

what do you mean high? if i total my car i get 35,000 for my car. a reg. policy only gets you what the car is worth. i pay extra for extra coverage.not bad at all in my opinion.

Kincaid Insurance 330-834-0003

I have two Stock Eliminator Firebirds, a 2007 Pace trailer, and tools, etc. on my policy. The agreed value is $92,345.00 and I paid $830.00 last year. To me that is a good deal. I know of several people that have lost their entire operation to fire or theft that did not have insurance.

For those with street cars at least with my soon to be car insurance agent (have for homeowners) they will insure my car and all mods based on an appraised value!!!!! I get it appraised and they insure it to that no questions asked.

Now the catcher is that it may just be for classic car insurance (Ill have). Whats nice is that with State Farm you can have classic car insurance and NOT I REPEAT NOT have a classic car plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They give you the option

Im sure they could do the same thing with a newer car though.
