    What is the expected impact of the local wildfires on this event?  Any air quality problems expected?

        Any requirements just bought a c6 vette and want to take it to the track (I have years of racing experience from dirt bikes to go carts).      Can I go straight to a novice class I don’t want a controlled speed

              Adding to Kathleen's note above, The first beginner group session has a session is a "lead follow" where the instructor will lead a group of beginners at a very controlled pace through the track. This will give you a good idea of the best line/ braking zones etc. and make you much more comfortable on track.
