A case of the nerves is normal for anyone your first track outing. Hell, even second and third. The thing you should remember is that there are skill level groups that you could choose to be in and in each of those groups most everybody around you feels the same way and are most likely thinking the same thing you are, bringing themselves and their car home in one piece.
I'll be running a time trial event with NASA May 14th at Thunderhill. You should sign up for HPDE 1. That way you can ride with an instructor to learn the line on the track in your car and then you can ride with me and get an idea of what it will feel like wheel to wheel.
Fair warning: Road racing can be addicting and hazardous to your wallet.
