I would never claim a crash on the track unless it was a street bike. If it's a track-only bike, I don't agree with claiming it because it just drives up costs for everyone. The purpose of giving you a break on "educational events" is so that you gain more experience so you're safer on the street. But if you're not riding on the street anymore, nobody benefits from your increased skill. I guess you could argue that you're making yourself a better track rider, but that's not what the company had in mind. On the track you're deliberately pressing your limits all the time, whereas on the street you might only do that 5-10% of the time. Big difference.
