2009 AMA Congress Recommendation

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

If you would like to comment on this proposal, please contact your AMA Congress representative. AMA Congress meets on October 4, 2007.

Proposal:

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

Reason for Proposal:

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?
