For a first time experience our DE program is also a great place to get started. You already have the car, all you need is a helmet. My first ever time on the track was at an RTR DE.
Our instructors were trained and certified to instruct students just like you. You'll be assigned an instructor who will ride along with you in the car and help you stay safe.
I think it's best to sign up for a full 2 day event because the first day there will be so much to absorb that you might find it difficult to relax and enjoy. By the second day you will know more of what it's about.
That said the Roos school is a great option also, though it costs quite a bit more money.
I recommend AGAINST Pocono as the venue for a first event. A much better choice would be the Make A Wish event that we have at Thunderbolt Raceway (New Jersey Motorsports Park) in October, or even Summit Point in August. The reason is that these tracks are much more "real" tracks. Pocono is also fun but more of an over-ambitious autox track. Just my opinion though! My first event was at The Glen and I was hooked!
