last time we all went up there i was able to drive around the water box relatively easy (lifted F-250 on 36's) so you shouldnt have too much trouble

I really wanna take my car to the track but I have never been. Anyone have any constructive advice for a first timer? I'm afraid of making a fool of myself and doing something stupid....that is the only thing keeping me from going.

go around the water if you have FWD and do a small burn out to clean your tires if you want. Make sure you stage correctly giving the other person time to line up. Line up untill you see 2 yellow lights bla bla bla, go on green, hall ass unless you pass the 1/4 marker. I usually go all the way to the end of the track unless your car is slow you can take the first turn off.
Than get your time slip and repeat.

The BEST thing you can do is WATCH the other racers very closely the first few times with someone who can explain, step by step, what the person is doing. the only thing that can be a little bit difficult is finding the staging beams, but watching the other people light the pre-stage and stage bulbs will help greatly.
