Having been involved with this for decades, along with other pursuits that require some form of insurance, I've gained a bit of insight into what insurance "requires" much of the time. Essentially, most of our local clubs get their insurance through the same carrier/underwriter. The policies are identical. The agent has no idea the difference between modern car safety features, especially when it comes to high performance cars suitable for track use. What I have found is that "our insurance requires..." is just a shield behind which the club staff mask their pet wants and desires. I'm almost sure that is the case in this instance. Think about it - would an insurance agent be more comfortable with a Porsche approved roll over safety system or an aftermarket one?
