If we have a large enough group, we could probably reserve the track as a PCA event some night or even weekend.

I brought this idea up at the last board meeting, and supposedly the PCA doesn't allow karting as a club activity. That being said, if a group of us want to go, there is nothign stopping us from meeting up down there :dude:

PCA insurance does not cover karting, so it cannot be a PCA event. It is possible to have a PCA event near a karting facility (parking lot get together, group drive or the like) that ends before some members go into the karting facility. Such an event could be advertised on the RTR web site.

I'd be interested in a LVGP trip. Good track there and some nice roads too.

That's interesting. Chris, can you provide a brief overview of how PCA insurance works? Does it cover members at events? How does that work at say, a DE or AutoX? I thought those (DE, at least) required its own insurance? Is PCA insurance liability, where are the DE insurance would be for one's own property (vehicle, extra liability?)

If you really want to understand the whole PCA program, login to pca.org as a member and read RPM (Region Propcedures Manual). It's the guide to running a region and is required reading for the RTR board members.

Here is the insurance summary from the same source. Further questions should be directed to your current RTR officers!
