Kansas Traffic Ticket from 9 years ago - Do I have a chance??!!?

I am going to court this month for a speeding ticket and no proof of insurance from 9 years ago. I didn't realize it wasn't taken care of until I went to renew my license. I have been trying for months to get proof I had insurance at the time but due to it being so long ago and not having the policy number my insurance is having a hard time finding the info. I have tried getting an old police report from a wreck but they cant find a copy of that either...long story short I have tried at least 5-10 diff. ways of getting proof and all have been a dead-end! My questions are this :

1. Can I still plead "not guilty" to the no insurance even though I have no proof otherwise?

2. If I plead not guilty will they set a diff. court date?

3. Are their lawyers present at municipal court to advise you?

4. They have doubled the fines since I didn't pay originally - does anyone know what my chances are that the judge will cut them back down to the original amount?

5. If I plead not guilty, does the ticketing officer have to show up and if he doesn't would it be grounds to throw all of it out even from that long ago?

Thank you for your help~it is greatly needed!!!!
