1. Don't take a car to the track if you aren't ready to walk away from it($$$). You may crash and total it and most if not all insurance companies won't cover it.
2. Ask/talk/search for a run group and go watch and consider if it is for you. Go for ride alongs. Look for HPDE (high performance drivers education), and groups that have instructors that can teach/help/guide you. Let them know you are beginner.
3. Light prep, mostly safety check and brake pads(NOT STOCK) and brake fluid, helmet, tool set, jack and maybe extra wheels/tires.
4. Autocross is slower and safer and much easier to get into, look into that.
5. Read number one.
