This issue is very problematic. Yesterday I went to an event at Watkins Glen (without my car) and came away bitten by the track bug worse than ever. AND, a 944 Turbo lost its brakes at the end of the front straight and flipped in the gravel, the only injury was pride. Can a single hoop roll bar run anywhere? One sensible solution is to buy and old Mazda RX7 cheap and make a dedicated track car, but explain that one to the wife, while a Cobra sits in the garage. I just remarked today that if someone came along with a half reasonable offer, I'd probably take it, because I want track time, but will be paying for college soon at God knows where. The hard part is that insurance companies don't offer a sliding scale for track entrants based upon risk. they just rely on the law of large numbers and lean on organizers to minimize risk. I wonder if we could approach an insurance company and negotiate a rate for Cobras only...
