But now he's got another option - let's take advantage of my buddy. He can buy me a new sled and I won't need to submit an insurance claim either. The classic double-dip!! Some friend ...... you owe him the deductible and that's it.

Bingo! What he said. You can go a long time thinking you know someone until a situation like this happens, then you really find out. I'm surprised that more stories like this do not exist around here w/ people letting others drive their 911s on the track. (Where insurance is if-fy).
Standard "Pottery Barn" agreements are OK but should be mentioned up front, preferably before you hear the crashing sounds.
