I was just at Mid-Ohio with Gridlife the weekend before you. I only had only done one track day before, so I was in the beginner HPDE group. Mid-Ohio hosts tons of HPDE events throughout the year. Gridlife, AutoInterests, 10/10ths motorsports, GPS Tracktime, and usually some regional SCCA groups (Cincy SCCA had one there 8/2 this year). All have different levels you can sign up for, some to timed trials, some don't. Beginner groups always have instructors. Typically groups like PCA and BMW owners, don't discriminate on vehicles, from what I've seen.
Also check out Putnam Park, its a track near Indy. It's a bit more open and has less things to hit if you do happen to go off.
Side note: I was fortunate enough to not have any wet conditions, but Mid-Ohio is notoriously terrible when wet. They basically told us to do the opposite of the racing line everywhere.
As far as the rabbit hole, it can either swallow you whole, or you can stay at the surface, its all personal preference.
