Eric, that would be valid if the insurance policies were not based on value to begin with. Insurance was always quoted on a percentage of the cars value with a large deductable (typically 20% of the agreed value). It has become expensive to fix almost any Porsche that has a track accident. (now spec Miatas, that would be a better option). I really think it is unfair to tell someone to come do track events because it is safer than driving on the street. If you ask any instructor or veteran DE driver, they will respond that it is a matter of when not if they have a track incident. Sh*t happens, just take a count of cars with dents after one weekend in November.
