I would hold off on insurance until you get 1-2 events under your belt and have a better idea of what confidence level you have.

I disagree on that advice re the insurance. I think if you aren't ready to eat the replacement cash cost of totaling the car you should get insurance for the car or not use it for the track.
Really random stuff can happen (e.g. car doesn't have brakes going into a corner and rear ends another car, coolant line (yours or someone else's) or oil line bursts during your corner entry, etc etc) and someone can get taken out through no fault of their own

Pic of tires after event attached. The PSS did better then I expected and have plenty of tread left.
