"Off Track Insurance"
This insurance is only for USPA (ITPA's insurance) members and will insure your hauler (not the power unit), pulling vehicles (when not in competition), support vehicles as well as spare parts and tools. This insurance is for fire, theft, vandalism, etc. The minimum fee is $750 with a rate of 85 cents per $100 valuation. Go to the GEM Insurance, LP website and click on the USPA logo. That will bring up the application. Each puller will deal directly with GEM Insurance for their coverage.
We will try to keep all pulling results up to date when possible. ITPA assumes no responsibility for incorrect data.
