Edit:. Or I just join scca, buy a helmet, and pick an hdpe to go to.

That would be a good start. I’d really recommend taking part in an instructed event first. They usually focus on safety and etiquette and work up from there. Some stuff on driving line and basic techniques. It would be worth calling or emailing them and asking questions first on how they structure the day. We have a couple decent groups in my area that I have done classes with and they are helpful.
I really wouldn’t worry about joining SCCA. You don’t need to in order to do one of their TNiA events and those are kind of clusters anyway that I would recommend avoiding unless you are desperate. You only really need their membership for competitive events.
I’ve met tons of people that have become friends over the years doing track days. You are already participating in a common interest. Most people are friendly. I haven’t met too many idiots.
