That is the same reply that I got from Parrish when I called them last week.
Looks like great coverage if you don't want to drive the car on the street.
I believe they would write a separate policy for the street portion, but in
my case they would not write liability in the state of Massachusetts.
Massachusetts probably tries to over regulate the insurance industry like
they try to do with everything else. When I called Grundy their one policy
would cover both street usage and hauling to/from race events. I received a
quote and sent off a check last week. So I'll have to see what the policy
says when I get the hard copy in hand. BTW their the rate quoted to me was
very competitive.
