I also would like to know if your normal insurance is valid when on a track or if something bad happens are you S-O-L? How do people manage that aspect?
The entry fee was $750. I had a Porsche instructor in my car coaching me for about 1/3 of the time. I then had one of the instructors do a lead-chase session with me, me in my car and he in his, and provide coaching via two-way radio for the duration. Plus there was an autocross event with an instructor in the car. The fee also included a pretty high-end breakfast, lunch, and supper courtesy of Porsche Centre Winnipeg. I felt I got very good value for what it cost.

Oh, and I burned about $60 worth of gas.

As it was an education event and not a racing event, my regular auto insurance had me completely covered. That's how it works here in Manitoba but I can't speak for anywhere else.
