I bought track insurance the first few times, then stopped. I don't think it's as important for a first timer as you are typically instructed and being cautious. It's kind of track and organization dependent. I imagine SCCA instruction will be pretty conservative. The couple guys I know that instruct locally take it pretty slow and try not to overwhelm people with too much to quickly. I also know of a couple NW tracks I would completely recommend track insurance for first timers as there details of the track that are tricky and have really bad spots that even putting a couple tires off can be bad.
That's what my thoughts were on insurance. I'll probably be fine with an instructor, and I've driven enough Baltimore beltway to learn how to avoid maniacs lol. Locally, my choices seem to be Summit Point and Dominion if that matters.
