I did some serious autocrossing for a few years and I think I only saw
one occasion where someone had to call their insurance company after
an event. The event was at a race track. A Bimmer took a turn wrong and ended 
up in a drainage ditch. Bent up the rear axle good. Most events I did were
on parking lots and the only hazard were the cones. Nailing a cone good can
do some damage. Where are you autocrossing, Daytona?

On insurance costs, my Miata insurance is about the same as my wife's
323 insurance when it was new.
