I was originally planning the morning session, but being that I am 2 hours away, the "night" session may be better.

How does insurance work at these type of events btw? I've done a bunch of driving schools, but this would be my first track day with my own car

You can look into getting private track insurance.

As long as you don't get timing and you're not in a competition, some insurance companies will still cover you, but it's best to call them and ask

IIRC, Progressive and Farmers do, but I don't have either of them so I've only heard about it.

As long as you're aware of your surroundings, don't drive arrogant and think you're faster than the miatas/civics cause you have a BMW (Cause you won't be faster than them if they have an experienced driver lol, I learned this out the hard way), and go there to simply have fun and enjoy yourself, it'll be fine.

I suggest intermediate if you have track experience. If you didn't, I would say do beginner.
You can always change your level throughout the day

It's not so much myself I am worried about, I feel like I know my car and its abilities pretty well. It is others that I am worried about. Is there open passing at these events?

ah but if one is careful of his surroundings (if someone is on your ass, let him pass cause he's faster than you; if you're on someone's ass and they're being an ass and not giving you a point by, then back off and make room, or go back into the hotpit and tell the starter guy you want more room + report that a-hole) you shouldn't have issues. I know what you mean though . I was pretty scared when I first started tracking.

Open passing is allowed in Super Advanced/Advanced groups. I don't suggest you run with them if you're not used to having open passing and possible dive bombs.
Intermediate is point by passing.

I haven't run beginner in forever so I don't remember...but my guess is point by only on the straights.

It also helps to start getting to know people, especially those in your group
