Boy are you in the wrong addiction!!
Go for the Hershey events (smooth, huge parking lot) with CPA-PCA. When I first got started, I would drive up there, run in the group, and then stay and keep doing the fun runs until they were taking the cones away. Talk about getting a feel for a car's handling dynamics, and that parking lot they use is big enough that you will have no problem using the power.
One other thing that I do in the off season is I reread some of the Speed Secret series and review my end of session notes in my track journal. For you, I would suggest to stay with books 1 & 2 in the beginning (those two are packed with the most useful information) and probably #6 as you gain experience. The others are very boring unless you want to be a pro race car driver or pro team manager/engineer.
Best of luck in getting your car ready and welcome to the drug.
