keep in mind this is real costs you will have to pay for in a track event, so when you even insure for track insurance, don't forget in an event of a crash, you pay for the damages to the track and costs to repair!

Not all tracks bill you when you hit the wall and the cost for cleanup varies depending on if you actually spilled any fluids, how much, and where it was.
Watkins Glen is known for being expensive to crash at. They bill you for the section of the wall and the paint to repaint it. Other tracks don't care as much.
My crash at NJMP where I hit the wall twice didn't cost me a penny as far as clean up and repair costs go. Many tracks don't have the walls close to the track in areas where you are likely to run off, so its not really an issue.
