I did the "Mustang Challenge" at Miller in Utah, which was similar.
There were 10 people in the class. You get about an hour of classroom basics and then two laps with the instructor in a 15 passenger van where he shows you exactly how fast the van can go. It's faster than most of the folks went around the track.
Each 'student' then gets plopped into a GT something-or-other with a helmet and a harness and some pretty nice tires and each person (including the instructor) gets to lead 2 laps around the east course to their comfort level. About $350 including the optional extra insurance. Total experience about 3 hours.
I had a lot of fun but I would say the whole experience (excluding the 15 pass van) never even approached the physical limits.
Nobody got run over or ran over a median or anything.
At that time there was a $1000 or so class that was a full day that had more class time and individual instruction, sort of like a DE event but you don't have to take your car.
Fun but definitely novel. Good place for a date lol
