Default Re: Why race your supercar

I would never say to store these cars away in a safe place where nobody could ever enjoy them. I'm just saying that I personally can't afford an accident with no insurance to help offset the accident. We all know what happened to ZL1 #1 and I'm sure it was covered by insurance so it means you can restore it again. If I wreck my JL8 doing laps on a road course, it's not gonna be covered and I'm out more than $75K which took me at least 10 years to save up for. If you bought a Yenko or COPO back in 69 or the 70's when they weren't very expensive and you have no plans on selling it ever, then there really isn't much of a risk to continue racing it. Now if there is an insurance company that covers vehicles being raced, that can change everything.
