Can't you get track day insurance? In the UK you can.

I'd rather get a full face helmet that would double for motorcycling as well

Note that the design parameters and certification are different for car and motorcycle helmets. Motorcycle helmets don't need to help you survive bouncing off a rollcage, for example. I don't know anything about US law, but I would be very surprised if wearing a non-motorcycle helmet on a bike were legal, and if wearing a non-car helmet at a track would be accepted.

A lot of onboard footage I see has some sort of auto-swiping cleanup feature. Like if bugs splatter the shield over the camera, the shield seems to rotate and move to fresh screen. How does that work?

If it's the same as the ones I've seen, it's like a big version of an old 110 film cassette, running reel-to-reel clear plastic across the front of the lens.
