Hey Rick, you might look into a lifeline rental deal like the enduro. I'm sure there a jetboaters here that would race except they don't have the required gear. All the boat safety stuff should be on their boats anyway, but the expense of buying all the personal safety gear may prevent some people from even trying it once........And we know, once they try it, they're hooked......MP

hUH?? Where did this come from? It's obvious to me that you have never been a part of any type of professionally sanctioned boat racing. Why would you try to plant the this seed of uncertainty in peoples heads ?
First of all, you're right about the regular boat insurance not covering you under racing conditions.
Second,you're wrong when you scare people into believing that they're going to lose their houses from a lack of insurance. This is where the racing organizations come in, such as the APBA, NJBA, & the Ihba. These sanctioning bodies are the main insurance holders.......and I will find out more!!:devil:

I believe part of the registration process involves signing an agreement to hold all participants harmless in any type mishap while attending a race. I know APBA insurance covers accidental injury to racers and crew while attending a race. Motel/hotel "mishaps" excluded...........

Cant Jim post and stick up for himself?

Where do you get your info? Timinator is exactly right. You have to sign a waver when racing with in APBA where you assume ALL responsibility for injury, death, property damage and so on that might come from racing within one of their events. Why do you think there are so many fund raisers for drivers injured in a crash...because they get such great coverage from the scantioning body? Get a clue.
No ones trying to plant any seed of uncertainity in anybody, he was just laying it on the line. Unless you've got a special rider in your insurance policy, you run the risk of having no coverage at all. And not only that, the boats manufacturer (doesn't really matter in most cases anymore because you're all running hulls built decades ago) the warranty for the hull is/was void the minute it hit the race track.

Moneypitt
01-30-2007, 08:22 AM
RF, this is a thread about racing Jetboats with APBA. Is your boat ready to race? If so, bring it out. You would be amazed at how much fun you could have. However, also realize that if it wern't for the efforts of the person you choose to flame here, there wouldn't be a nostaliga jet class to race in. There are three sides to every story. Your's, his, and the truth. I don't think anyone here wants to hear your side only. There are avenues to address any monetary damages you may have incurred, but this board is not one of them. I have no way of knowing what went on with your Code Blue experience, nor with his ebay account. Truthfully, it is none of my business. I am not taking sides here, only suggesting that this is not the place to air it out. Please allow this forum to remain a positive place for members to discuss boating, racing, and the various things we need help with, from fellow boaters/racers. Please do not ask me for money, I have very little. I don't think there will be a class for you at Burley this year, but there may be some actual CJ races in region 10, the Pacific Northwest. Talk with Circlejerk, (Boyd), he promotes the Nostaliga stuff up there in a little different format than APBA, and is always looking to add to the boat count for those events.......Think positive and move forward, please..............MP

You've been around this business alot longer than I have ol' rigger, and I know that you are much more knowledgable about racing than I. But, I must respectfully ask you, Have you ever known anybody that has lost their house as a direct result of the scenario you describe?
And, all of the fundraisers I see are for guys that have died and have no money saved!! The money is usually needed for burial services and such.

Moneypitt
01-30-2007, 09:10 AM
Unless things have changed lately, the APBA does have medical insurance for the racers and crews. It is limited, like $7500. or 10K, but it is there, I think. As far as your boat, nah, but the wavier protects you from being sued by a fellow racer in the event that 2 boats collide and suffer damage to either. I have never heard of any litigation between racers for any reason. There is a suit ongoing between a drag racer's family and a promotor/official. This involves a safety issue and a death. ......I wonder how many 4X4 owners know that their insurance is useless once they leave the highway!!!!......MP

thanx ralph
i talked to ross today and i was just informed that i need a physical, really no big deal but i was not informed via this thread or the rules. however i may have not looked in the right place. So if you are new and going to race you need a physical.

My mistake. You're absolutly right, I've never heard of anyone losing their house from the above scenario. And as moneypitt points out, you're covered for 7,500 to 10K. More than enough I'm sure to cover any medical expenses that might come from being in a crash in a boat race. :rolleyes:
Like you, I've seen fundraisers for guys that have died, I've also seen them for the guys that couldn't afford to pay off the medical bills. Not to mention having seen nothing done at all when the driver couldn't afford to pay off his bills. Guys like Billy Henderson who crashed back in the day, before you were probably born, who broke his back, had his cheeks ripped off his ass, hydrauliced his rectum, just to name a few of his injuries from the crash. If you think that the APBA, or who ever is putting on the race, will step in and cover any of the expenses above the 10K in the policy, your dreaming.
Maybe someone would lose their house, or at least suck out all the equity in it to pay off his or her medical bills.
I would hope no one would ever have to use any insurance policy for injuries suffered while doing something that I enjoy watching so much, but it happens, and for you to tell someone that their covered and not to worry because the 'sanctioning bodies' has their back is wrong.

Gee Scott, If I would've known we were arguing I would've been more aggressive!!! I was trying to be informative. Just the facts, (as I know them) just the facts........I think the APBA insurance deal covers any costs involved with initial transportation and "check out" at a local hospital. At least I've never heard of anyone being billed for that. A serious injury could hurt the wallet as well unless you have outside health coverage, which isn't voided by any accidents on land or water. Now the boat is a different story, there, you are on your own.........Sorry If I sounded negative, I certainly didn't mean to.......Ray

What gloom and doom are you talking about? The part where i said I didn't like to see any racers getting hurt or the part where I listed the injuries to my old friend B. Henderson, and he didn't get any help in paying off his medical bills? I was simply disagreeing with lilrick about insurance coverage from what I've seen in the past. I'd like to see the class take off again as much as anyone.

Ralph, regardless of success or failure at MIng, as Maxi says, your life will be changed. The weekends at the lake/river will never be the same. You will live for the next race. You will meet people that you will never forget, and become part of an extended family like no other. Your first race is a small step into a big addiction, for which there are no Betty Ford clinics.

Thanks for the support Oldrigger! LILRICK:yes I have seen someone lose their house in Prescott Valley,AZ. To a girl that I had just started to date when the thing went down,as a matter of fact. I decided that I didn't want to be near anyone like that, so I broke it off immediatly. What the release and covenant not to sue protects is the race promoter, not you. If anyone is killed,THEIR HEIRS HAVE NOT SIGNED ANYTHING AND CAN AND OFTEN DO SUE EVERYONE INVOLVED!!!!! Also, any spectator has not signed anything, are they not gonna sue if you kill their kid? In Az. and most states, the hold harmless agreement can be overturned by any judge because of extenuating circumstances. The skydiving center that I was involved with had a release from the jumper (14 jumps), and the jumper was jumping with her experienced jumper boyfriend (700+ jumps) when things went sour. She was killed on impact.Her parents sued, and it cost the jump center about $23,000.00 to get the case dismissed. The boyfriend was also sued, but had no tangible assets, the lawyer dropped any claim on him in exchange for his testimony against the drop zone. A close friend from at the dragstrip (car) was run into by another participant, ONE call to the other racers insurance company resulted in a generous settlement check for his car and minor injuries. The insurance co. sued THEIR own customer, and of course won, they also collected "costs involved with settlement" and then dropped the insured because of the incident. I can go on, but you get the picture. Don't believe me? Call a lawyer. A closed race course is different than an open waterway with bouys, and an open shoreline. In closing, I love racing as much as anyone, I have seen things that I don't like, so I stay away from participating. This is not gloom, it is the world we live in. TIMINATOR

If I was worried about getting sued, I wouldnt leave the house...You cant live life worrying about what ifs.
You could get consumed with, what if this happened, or what if that happened.

DAMN SPIT,
your gullwing would be turning around 115mph at 6500!!! that's hauling the mail!!
you going to Saguaro on Sunday? I will be in the white/teal bassboat, flag me down and say hi. I fell in love with the gullwings when I saw a SCORPION (they used to build/rig them in the Junction). If I ever get another speedboat it will be a jet/gullwing...

and that my friend is the plan;) I will be doing some rigging on the G-wing on sunday. Im getting ready for spring break hopefully.
Scorpions are nice. Thet were built at east valley performance when Jay was there. Since Jay has left the customer service went out the window. My friend just sold one with a killer ford in it for 13k.
Have we ever met before? I used to run the kachina in my pic out there the last 2 seasons......

Spit,
I used to run a RED PICKLEFORK OB. I normally boat with the family and we don't go to the beach much. I sold the picklefork and picked up an Allison bassboat (I can actually insure it (as long as it doesn't go over 85mph)). 24 pitch prop X 7500rpm (rev limiter) = 82mph... no limiter 9000+
if you make it see you on Sunday, if not, another weekend...
you should run the gull in Nostalgia, could be fun. I am planning on running my hull in Nostalgia with the v-drives and the 300, basically all the Parker races.

the 85mph comment is for insurance;)
most Allison's setup to rock and roll will run an easy 100 with a 2.5/260.
I can run a 24 pitch and keep it at 7300rpm and be running almost exactly 80mph in the straights. An Allison bassboat will turn pretty well...
don't expect to win, but would like to be competitive...
O.K. I want to win!! like I tell the kids try for an A if you miss you get a B...
have been watching the races the last couple of years, time to race.

Let me preface this by saying in this day and age anything is possible and given the letigous environment we all live in nothing is really 100% safe.
With that said, here is how your insurance works under APBA. As a member of APBA in the event of an incident your primary insurance co. is contacted (assuming you have primary medical insurance, btw, you have no business racing if you don't have insurance for yourself or your family) and after a $2,000 deductible is paid to APBA's Insurance Company, anything that your primary insurance doesn't cover the APBA policy should. That is not to say it will 100% of the time, each accident is differerent and each insurance policy has different rider's, etc. written into the policy and everyone should check to see what coverage they can expect by their primary insurer. I know plenty of racers that were hurt racing and they can attest to the coverage over and above their primary insurer's. 99% of the time every bill is satisfied by both insurance companies.
Next, in the event of one racer suing another, then APBA steps in and gets involved in protecting the racer. You sign your right away to sue another racer when you join, it is in the language on the back of your membership that has to be signed, dated and witnessed. Now does that mean that anyone can stop a racer from suing another racer, NO, what it means is that a lawsuit resulting from an incident while racing has very little merit as the verbage states (paraphrasing) "Racing is inherently dangerous and you may get killed,.....". I'm no attorney but in cases like this intent must be proven and in almost 30 years of racing, I have seen a lot of accidents but yet to see someone use his boat as a weapon.
Unfortunately, I too have been involved in fund raisers for the families of injured or killed racers and the fund raisers is to provide assistance to the family while the insurance issues are being dealt with but in some cases, the racer had little or no insurance and needed the help of the racing community.
No one that I have know through 28 years of racing has lost their house unless or assets through an incident with another racer on the race course. If they ran into financial trouble it was concerning benefit coverage or lack thereof.
Last, in the case of accidental death, the APBA death benefit insurance payout is a lump sum of, I believe, $20,000. I will confirm this number with APBA and get back to you all.
I hope this sheds some light on a very important issue.
See you in March at Ming!

Ross Wallach, SCSC/RPM RACING ENT.

Jim,
Can you do us all a favor and spare us a repeat of the endless whoring done for your enduro attempt. You wanna race your boat, cool, you wanna get sponsors to pay your way, cool. But try and refrain from subjecting people that are just interested in information about the race itself to the side effects of your endeavors. I.E. you want to give a shout out to your sponsors, start a thread specifically for that purpose. Then you'd have your own thread to post up about how Code Blue Racing, Emanon Performance Marine, or whatever you want to call yourself this year has managed to find a way for someone else to foot the bill for your recreational endeavors.
Chris
