Half of us trailer, so if you break, you get to drive home the most streetable of the track cars, and we'll tow ya.

Generally, you get to run in the newbie group (1) at least once - to get you used to driving on a track. Then you run in the faster newbie group (2) to learn more technique. Then they throw you in the kamikaze group (3) to pass anywhere with a point; it totally rocks cuz passing is the key to not being frustrated with the people in your group.
I'd say you should run 1 once, 2 once and evaluate where you are. Do you have any track experience? I know you are a little challenged autocrossing
so the car control parts should be second nature. You simply need to become accustomed to being on a track; then you realize you are on the track with a group of people you NEED TO TRUST. It really is a lot of fun.
