You're in for a treat ! First timers get lots of coaching and support - it's real easy to get in to... all you have to do is sign up for the next NASA event at PIR (phoenix international raceway, where nascar was a couple weeks ago) and show up... You would be in HPDE1 which is a student run group... there is almost no passing allowed... instructor at all times... very safe... you just need a helmet, but can borrow one if needed
here's an email about the next even from our regional nasa director in az
there are other clubs too of course - like pca, bmwcca, etc, but this one is the best to start with if you're in a nissan

Greetings!
If you've been waiting for the long distance weather report, things are looking great! We are in for a treat with some mild May weather. No rain, no wind, but luckily a few clouds to help keep the direct sunlight from frying us all! The forecast shows lows in the 60's and the high only being 90 degrees for the weekend. As a reminder this is your last chance to run PIR until SEPTEMBER!!! Also, because we were able to get an early May date this year, this will be the coolest May event we have had in quite some time. Get your track fix in NOW before the Summer heat hits us!
