Unless you drive with your eyes closed, you will not need the insurance. I say that, because I think a couple of the attendees when I was there were driving with at least partially closed eyes and even they didn't go off-roading.
Seriously, the track is very forgiving, and the instructors manage the driving sessions in a very professional and controlled manner. The chances of you going off is very minimal. The chances of you going off and doing more than $2k of damage are extremely unlikely.

I will be there next week and am trying to find out about the clothing to wear while driving. HPDE I have been to so far require long pants and long sleeve shirt. With temps over 110 degrees, and a comment I saw on this site about wearing shorts & tee's; I am wondering and hoping that shorts & tee's are okay.
I sent the question to Spring Mountain, but haven't heard back from them. Can someone please help me out on this?
BTW - I appreciate the info on insurance & tipping.

Was at SM in April. Paid for the insurance. $300 tip. They earned it as the instructors were very good.
Could definitely gone without the insurance, but it may allow you to feel like you can push harder.

There is only one small place on the track with a wall anywhere nearby, where is probably the only place to do some real damage assuming you don't rear end somebody. I am returning for level 2 in September and will probably skip the insurance. Even without the extra protection, you're only liable for 8K which probably isn't the end of the world for many C7 owners.
