I suppose you'd have to budget for it and/or get "track insurance" which I would need to research and see what, if any, is available. I hesitate to call my agent. They might just raise my rates at the mention of the word "Track"

More research to be done for sure and I think that joining the local BMWCCA might be a good place to start.
That particular event was a timed one-lap event. Kinda like an autocross but on the track. From what Adam (nmulax) told me this past weekend, BMWCCA will divide drivers up into three groups (beginner, intermediate, advanced). Here's more info: LINK

I don't think you have to worry about what happened to that particular E36 with these untimed events. It's all about learning to read the course with an instructor.
