Definitely do PEC, you'll have a great time and if new to track, I'm certain the instructor will benefit you greatly.

I've personally not had the opportunity to drive at PEC, but have done numerous PCA HPDE's over the past four years. PCA won't allow solo's on track at COTA until they've been signed off on by a qualified instructor. Based on the high speeds and danger involved, I whole heartedly agree with this policy.

I hadn't been on track in over 4 decades, so I was glad to have an instructor along until both of us were satisfied I was ready to solo. Now, I always get an instructor for at least one session during every COTA track weekend, ostensibly to ensure continued learning, but also to keep me from developing lazy, bad or dangerous habits. I always seem to learn something and to point, my PBR's each track weekend always seem to happen the first few sessions after the instructed session.
