Hi Jon,
Back in the 60's I paid an increased premium for life insurance because I
told the agent I raced. The policy was subsiquently turned over to a new
agent who asked me why I had an increased rate. After I told him about
Bonneville he called the company and they determined that there was no added
risk in that type of racing and the added premium was not required. I even
got a refund retroactively of the added ammount.
