Question breakdown recovery from a trackday?

I have an old banger for work and a Clio 182 that I use a lot for trackdays. I want a breakdown service to cover both cars but most include exclusions for off road or track use.
These are some exclusions on the RAC website.
1.Vehicles which have broken down anywhere other than on a public highway, or other road or area to which the public have right of access.

2.Vehicles which have broken down as a result of taking part in any motor sport event (including, without limitations rallies or stock car racing) which takes place off the road and/or is not subject to the normal rules of the road.

Has anybody used a recovery service on a trackday and which one do you recomend.

Richard Askew towed PTMW! to a garage on the A20 from which I called the AA (when the engine blew @ Brands Nov 2003). Chap that eventually flat-bedded me said that he picked up quite a few from there!!

With the back seats removed and carrying 4 slicks it might be a bit obvious where i've been. Will the local breakdown truck that gets called out turn a blind eye?

Errr

I had stripped out rear seats & trim, a full bolt in roll-cage & 2 sets of tyres + tools, jack etc

I was not questioned on booking or p/up although it was obvious where I had been. In fact 2 operatives came - the first to check my engine was fecked & the second to flat-bed me to Basildon.
