I would like to to get an intro into track driving, but certainly need instruction. Advice on where to begin? I'm not trying to break any driving records, just want to drive fast in a safe environment
This event was experienced only.

In Chicago, Windy City BMW started doing track days the last 2-3 years. For a while, they didn't hold any track days, maybe for 5+ years.

Last year they did one event (weekend at Autobahn). This year they have two events.

Porsche Club has a specific Novice day each year at Blackhawk Farms in April. You don't have to own a Porsche to join the HPDE and they run 7 or 8 events including renting out Road America for the whole weekend over Memorial Day.

Of the car marques, Porsche holds the most track days.
There are other clubs and "companies" that hold track days.
Almost everyone uses Club Registration or Motorsport Reg. You can search for events and signup from those sites.
