I suppose it depends on how they define 'closed course.'
For stuff I've been involved in, that's where the competitive

contests are conducted in open, public-access airspace,
I'd hope its excluded.

I also seem to recall experimental aircraft that I

'borrow' are excluded from the 'non-owned
coverage' I'm normally extended by the policy.

That's one of the reasons I don't find those renter
policy thingies to be too terribly useful.
