Here is how I know. Provided the event promoter isn't a cowboy organization all first-time drivers and beginners will have an instructor, especially a track like Sebring that was mentioned. Have you ever instructed? By your previous response, I gather you have not.

The last thing any instructor wants to happen is for a beginner to get in over his or her head out on track and compromise the safety of everyone. Just because a newbie arrives in a 755HP ZR1 doesn't mean the instructor is going to let this individual just haul ass around the track out of control, potentially risking safety.

Given the high limits of a SS 1LE, I do realize the OP will have the potential to go fast. However, and I've been doing this for a long time. I'd wager this will not be the case due to nerves and uncertainty of driver limits along with many more factors. This along with the fact that said instructor will coach the OP and help with car placement, checking mirrors, safe distance between cars, looking for flags as well as a proper line over outright speed. Guarantees the OP is not going to boil factory fill brake fluid.

Now if the event promoter is a cowboy operation then this is out the window. And if so I'd advise the OP to find another event and promoter, otherwise it very well could be one of these throttle jockeys with "DOT 4" brake fluid running into the OP.
