2 tracks that I know of that are your best bet. VIR and Summit Point in WV which would be close to you. You will need a helmet for sure. Check the web sites for each track. THAT is the only way to know for sure on what is needed, the cost, and how they run. As each track is different in their operation. Rememeber that it's the end of the season. So some stuff is winding down, and may be booked up. As guys are trying to get the last runs in.
Doing HPDE. First time at the track. You will have an instructor with you most likely.
Side note. When you post things. You come off a bit cockly. Don't know if you mean it that way, or not. It sounds like a rant. It rubs some people the wrong way.
