Buccaneer Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 So, after reading what Ed posted about "voiding" your warranty, does that mean they will have GM agents at the tracks just waiting with pen in hand to write down your VIN for a block? That might piss a few owners off for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie44 Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 There have been those that suggest covering your VIN while at the track. Ed could probably advise but I think dealers also copy down a lic plate when they check you in at service. I'm betting they have your plate on file as well as the VIN.

Guest SeeSeven Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Reading the warranty manual with my Z-51, C7: "The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused as the result of any of the following: 1) Collision, fire, theft, freezing, vandalism, riot, explosion, or objects striking the vehicle; 2) Misuse of the vehicle such as driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or other competition. Proper vehicle use is discussed in the owners manual"; Items 3-8 not reprinted here as they do not deal with our subject. Reading the owners manual, however, talks about track use extensively - and not in the prohibited sense. I'm not sure how to interpret the two put together. I'm going get in touch with a GM factory rep and I will post as soon as I get some sort of info or an official ruling.I've attached the track pricing I got from Mitch at the NCM when the track is finished in Sept for clubs wanting to rent the track- and the track looks like an awsome one - and a really nice length. I viewed the beginning of the earth moving stages when I picked up my car Nov 19th. Also, for HPDE events hosted at the track it will be $400-500 per driver entry depending on skill level as to whether an instructor needs to be involved or not.NCM track pricing.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Y Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Interesting verbiage. i'm sure an attorney could find something to argue. I wonder if a judged car show is included in the phrase "or other competition"? LOL Sorry, you won a trophy, your warranty is void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SeeSeven Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Just got this in return from Mitch at the NCM: Great question, a HPDE is not racing it is High Performance Driver education or a drivers school. I know that the very few that have had a issue at our HPDE programs have had warranty coverage. Now that may be due to the large number of Corvette engineers that attend a lot of our events. But what I really need to do is ask the question to our contacts at the plant and the GM Tech Center, my gut tells me that the question has a number of answers and not a simple yes it will be covered or no the warranty is void. Give me a few days to get back to you. To which I asked: "Please also ask also about the scenario of a club renting the track for a day." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTABurnout Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Guys you know there are plenty of tracks that are not thousands of miles away. In fact one of those tracks (Inde) has been used to test the new Viper, Camaro, Mustang, and Vette. Why not just suppot a local track event?

Give me a few days to get back to you. To which I asked: "Please also ask also about the scenario of a club renting the track for a day." Well, it took a while for Mitch to get a reply from his GM contact at the Plant. But here it is:David, The reply I got from a GM Rep: GM policy is different than many other manufactures especially when it comes to Corvette. Corvette is advertised that it is made to be driven on the track and then back home. If the car is not altered, which means no alterations including tires, wheels brakes and powertrain. GM advises it will not cover the car if it is driven in a race or competition. If the event is not timed and the customer does not have a timing device in their car then it usually is not considered a race or a competitive event. There are other manufactures that do not allow their cars to be seen near a track or their warranty can be voided. GM’s position has been and I suspect that it will continue to be that GM will not proactively cancel anyone’s warranty. If the car is observed at a HPDE event and the car is stock then in most cases the owner has every right to expect GM would cover a warrantable defect. This does not mean that GM will replace the brakes because they wore out dues to track time. It does not mean that if an owner drives the car with track tires on it and in a sustained corner the car runs out of oil that GM would cover it. For the most part GM engineers their cars to be driven to the limit of the car as designed. A completely stock Corvette on a track should be warrantable. If the driver misses a shift and over revs the engine its not covered. If the driver wears the clutch out it’s a wear item and not covered. There are a lot of scenarios that would be covered and there are some that would not. The best bet is to leave the car completely stock and have a good working relationship with the local dealership. I think this pretty much answers the question, if the car is stock and driver error did not cause the problem it looks like the warranty is in place. Consumables such as brakes and tires are not included. Mitch WrightGeneral Manager NCM Motorsports Park350 Corvette DrBowling Green, KY270 777 4508 officewww.motorsportspark.org ______________________________________________So, clear as mud, huh? Probably it would be ok, but maybe not. A typical answer counseled by a lawyer, no doubt. In any event it seems to be an call by GM through the dealer IF they know about a track event... AND the whole issue is about a single warranty claim, not voiding the entire warranty. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTABurnout Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Still confused on why this track is so sought after on here when there are 2 major Track Daty clubs that operate in yor back yard, and several smaller track days offered all over Arizona. Do a NASA, ProAuto, or hell come to one of my small events all are going to give you more track time then the NCM Track. And you wont have to drive across the county.
