[QUOTE="soquel, post: 394392, member: 29038"] Oh No! :( This is the Marysville MX park newsletter that was sent to me. Marysville is located in central California. Their website is [url]www.marysvillemx.com[/url] Riverfront OHV Park is Closed until further notice 7-15-02 I received a Shut Down Notice from the City of Marysville today directing me to close the Off-Highway Vehicle Facilities to the general public and to cease any use of the OHV Facilities until further notice is provided by the City. This is because we cannot obtain the required insurance at any price. It is just not available because of the 9-11 terrorist disaster and the fall of the stock market. The insurance companies can no longer invest the premiums and make money. All the insurance companies that were involved in outdoor recreation coverage are either no longer involved in it or are reducing their exposure. We have the same insurance that most other tracks presently have, but it does not meet City requirements. It may not affect Private tracks that want to run without much insurance or State Parks since they are probably self insured. This is a nationwide problem. All the tracks are in trouble. It is not just OHV that is in trouble. It involves all types of extreme recreation including river-rafting, kayaking, and guide service etc. The events of September 11 helped put an end to the available insurance, at least for the foreseeable future. An insurance industry already experiencing acid reflux with every drop of the Dowwent on an all-Tums diet when the World Trade Center fell. After peaking at $336.3 billion in 1999, the industry saw its net worth fall to $289.6 billion by the end of 2001, according to the Insurance Information Institute. The insurers who backed the WTC spread their risk through a worldwide network of reinsurers, so nearly every insurance company will pay a little piece of the estimated $50 to $70 billion that add up to the largest property claim in history. The upshot is a stingy insurance market, which immediately affects high-risk ventures. We think we will still be able to run the races as scheduled because that is a separate policy, but have to close for the practices. The City is reviewing our race coverage at the present time. Regretfully, Charlie Sexton [/QUOTE]
