2009 AMA Congress Recommendation

Advisory Committee: 
Proposal Num: 76
Submitted by: Mary Hamilton
District: 11

Congress Decision: Accepted

Recommendation:

Recommend the AMA continue to seek out cheaper insurance for road events..

Reason for recommendation:

More and more clubs are turning away from AMA because of insurance cost. I currently have several clubs who have stopped sanctioning events because they can''t afford the insurance. Outlaw events are taking away riders and AMA clubs cannot compete with the current cost of insurance. If we can get a 2 day event for $150 insurance cost,can we not negotiate 1 day coverage for half of that?
