Are you thinking of getting onto the "Big Track" (GP circuit) or the DDT (Driver Developmnent Track?
Just a word of caution and something to consider if you are thinking about the GP track, which is one the most challenging road courses in the world...
this is not the track to start out learning on if you are a track virgin!!! It is a very fast, highly technical track with huge elevation changes. It is also extremely unforgiving if you should happen to run off the track, as the likelihood is you will run into a wall or a tire barrier. Things happen so quickly on that track that you can find yourself in deep trouble in a split second and if you don't have the experience and/or training, you could find yourself in a very serious accident. I've seen it happen numerous times in the 5 years I've been running on that track. I've seen someone go into a wall on a parade lap because he lifted his foot off the throttle in the wrong place and totally upset his car's balance!

On the other hand, the DDT is an excellent track for beginners and novices. It is a very challenging track with some elevation changes. It is a slower track with tighter turns (also harder on brakes and tires than the "Big Track") - but - it is a very forgiving track in that if you mess up and go "agricultural", there is lots of runoff and really only one wall. This smaller track is a lot safer and probably as much fun - especially if you are a beginner or a novice. It is also not intimidating, which could add to the enjoyment factor.

Not trying to rain on anybody's parade, but it is always better to err on the side of caution/safety. Getting involved in road racing will teach you your car's limits and your own with the net result you becoming a much, much better driver.
