My very first HPDE was w/ BMWCCA - GVC at Watkins Glen; about a year ago. The instructor took my car out for a first lap, which combined a vehicle check-out as well as helping familiarize me with the track. It was presented as s/t he did routinely, but I DK if everybody's instructor did this. I was quite happy to have that additional level of scrutiny, since I was a few minutes away from doing the scariest things I've ever done in a car (that I was driving). While it is iffy to run multiple laps that way, I'd generally agree w/ Bryan (above), and if you are squeamish about 'wear on your new brake pads' then HPDE's are not your thing.
