$50?!?! that's still cheap...but what about the Tracking Experience? I has none....
Some of the regular ECR instructors are talking to the track about this. There may be some options for people who have no previous track experience. Stay tuned and I'll let you know.

Do the cars need to be pre-inspected before the track day? If so where is a place that this can be performed?
Seriously though - ECR is hard on brakes. Make sure you've got plenty of pads and fresh fluid.

Update!
Looks like the experience requirement has been dropped. There should be several instructors on site for the weekend, and there will probably be some kind of lead & follow requirement in the green group for the first session as well.
Looks like you newbies get to come out after all!
Mandatory driver's meeting at 8:30 am both days.
Again, let me stress that ECR is a higher speed track with lots of heavy braking zones. Make sure your brake fluid and brake pads are in good shape. Fluid should have been flushed in at least the last year, and pads should have a minimum of 1/2 thickness left (you'd be surprised how quick you can go through a set of pads on the track). If you're in doubt... bring spares! There will be plenty of people trackside with tools to help you change pads and/or bleed fluid if necessary.
See you at the track!
