Ben,
I would never want to discourage anyone, but I really wouldn't recommend this for your very first event. I think you are making the right decsion to just observe. The entire DE program is built for students. Our season starts with the easiest track (5 turns) and is perfect for newbies. Thunderbolt has 14 turns, a tad bit harder to master. As this is not an official RTR event, it is going to lack some of the fundamentals that make it easier for new drivers.
I would strongly reccomend that you come down and see the action. Be sure to bring your helmet. I'm sure you'll be able to hitch a ride. You are going to find this one of the most welcoming groups your ever likely to meet. Just don't get between Dave Fellker and his milk and Oreos.
Feel free to PM me with any questions.
