It see ms K&:K In sura nce, the company th at covers mo st a ll MX tracks, has cho sen to excl ud e sideca r coverage for MX racing and they will o nly provide coverage for sideca rs on speed way tracks. Does thi s seem odd or wh at ? Anyway, th e folks at GFI Perris Raceway, Car lsbad and Glen Helen have all tried to help , but are un able to get pas t K&K. I thank them for their hel p and concern . I hope this does not happen to anyo ne else and I ho pe ot her racers will comp lai n as loudl y as I have. We ha ve not gi ven up yet, and are filing a com plai nt with the sta le.
