I read somewhere once that if you can't afford to leave it in a smoking heap on the side of the track then don't race it. I don't think you will find anyone to insure your car on the track. With that said, this is not wheel to wheel racing per se. It's not a "race". If you are new to it then you will be in the beginner group and that requires you to be pointed by to pass and only in certain sections of the track. It's not like on TV.
There will be plenty of people that may be a little hesitant about having their car on the track.
Keep in mind that it is up to you how fast you go. No one else wants to damage their car either and the more "enthusiastic" amongst us will be in the intermediate and advanced groups. There is an instructional tour of the track for beginners to show them certain spots on the track that you need to be aware of, to show you the racing line, etc. You are not just dumped on the track. At every event there were plenty of guys out there that were new to the event and were just out having fun - not trying to set records. That's what it's all about.
It's fun as hell and you need to do it at least once. But if you do it once you'll be back...
