Do it. It's a ton of fun and typically pretty low risk if you're doing it right.
-Maintain the car (oil change, brake fluid change, as you're doing)
-Drive within your comfort limits
-pick tracks with good run off area to limit the risk of hitting a wall
-pick well organized groups who use designated passing areas with point by only AND WHO FOLLOW THEM.
Sounds like you've got the maintenance thing covered and if the group is giving you an instructor then that should be a good organization to run with. Watch some onboard videos of people at the track to see if there's good run off area (also a good idea to learn the track and lines prior to arrival). Most importantly; obey your own driving ability. I don't care if someone catches you in a Echo; forget your ego and give them a point by (in the designated zones and lift throttle early if they need it) both they and you will have a better and safer day because of it.
