I don't really understand this business. But I'm sure there are insurances available for this kind of business. And I would recommend getting it because you never know what will happen.

Disclaimers don't work in the greedy hands of a sue-friendly lawyer.

$2million liability insurance, get it from a broker. Should be anywhere from $800-$1200 a year.

agree
if some idiot gets hurt they would say there illiterate or some stupid ass thing. Lets face it we live in the country that gave some woman a few million dollars cause she decided to put a hot cup of coffee between her legs, spilled it on her lap, and burnt it... So now they have to put CAUTION HOT on a coffee cup...

If you're running any sort of business you want insurance. If I were you I'd speak with a lawyer, best to play it safe.

$800 to $1200 a year? WOW, our club just paid our insurance for the year and it was only $150 for a $1 mill policy. Call around, I am sure somebody can hook you up for a decent price.

You need to get $2mil, not $1mil.

I think his question was about ROARS insurance. Does anyone know how their coverage works?

It's cheap, like $50 a year. But the downside is EVERYBODY who steps foot on the track has to have ROAR insurance ($30 a year). It is just way easier to get insurance frm a broker rather than ROAR because everybody has to have ROAR insurance.
