Charles might not have firsthand knowledge, but I do. USAC's insurance if you are injured is the best you will find anywhere and worth every penny of the membership fee. I was injured at the Belleville nationals and spent the night in the hospital there. All of the expenses (ambulance, E.R., doctors, hospital expenses, CT scans, MRI's, etc.) were all covered 100%. I never paid a dime for any of it and no one ever even asked for my personal health insurance along the way. USAC's insurance paid it all. I'm sure the bills would have amounted to well over $15,000 based on what I've seen for other family members bills from other things. I'm am so glad that I had their coverage and would tell anyone and everyone that the smartest money they could ever spend would be on the USAC membership with the insurance.

Maybe your testimony here will convince others to become USAC members and run with them.

Been following this thread. Negativity can certainly be a detriment, however, to ignore obvious short-comings is also a problem. Sort of like a teacher never grading your work. I know of very few endeavors where things are not evaluated for quality.

Random question not intended to derail the thread: the USAC members’ insurance only covers injuries incurred in a USAC race, right? I only ask since the guys racing for a living tend to run a lot of non-USAC stuff as well. When I got hurt at Paragon, I was lucky to have great primary coverage through my wife’s work. She had already covered our deductible that year, so it was all at 80/20. The track’s supplemental covered the 20%. All I paid out pocket was under $500 in the end; if I had pushed on co-pay for physical therapy it might have been under $100. All I could think about after the fact was the number of times I strapped in with $0 of my own insurance.

I believe USAC's coverage through its membership and pit passes is strictly for USAC sanctioned events.

If you expect to have 32 plus cars at every race you will need a time machine and have to go back about 15-20 years! In 2019, not gonna happen. But, the racing was great! Especially in the heats before they got the track smoother. Feature was good with Stockon holding them off and Leary and Short coming from the back after blown tires. It was just cool to see the "Action" back in the Action Track with some ruts and heaviness early on. The modifieds filled out the show nicely and the good racing they provided made it a "full show" with 5 heats and two a-mains.
Finally,I hope the moderator of this site bans the troll that claims he left early. This person is obviously a wing fan bashing USAC for no good reason. People on here need to ignore posts like that and laugh it off, not make any more comments about it. |
