Done hundreds of track days, when a now mate but then neighbour showed an interest my input would be do an airfield day or 2
.just until you get a feel for it( no barrers to kiss if you get it wrong just the odd soft cone)
motorsport events do some great ones, enjoy yourself its great and no plod

Check out this link to find a track day.

Don't use new tyres. The fronts will get destroyed. Get some spare wheels for the front with old tyres on. When you come off track do at least half a lap at moderate speed in a high gear and avoid using the brakes as much as possible to allow them to cool down and then when you park, leave it in gear with the had brake OFF. Or you might warp the discs.

Oh and let faster people go by as soon as possible. They will probably be in 911 gt3rs's.
