I called Grundy the moment I saw your note. The woman I talked to insisted
that they would not insure a vintage race car. I tried to make it clear to
her that I knew that the car wouldn't be covered while actually on-track,
that I just wanted coverage while on the highway as a licensed vehicle,
while in transit and in the paddock, and while sitting in my garage. I was
told that they insure "show" cars, but they don't insure cars actually used
as race cars.
Either she's right (and I need to look elsewhere for coverage) or she's
wrong (and I need to look elsewhere for an insurer with agents who know what
they're selling), or I'm unable to communicate in my native tongue (always a
possibility).
