Anywhere with STT, Midohio, or FastTrax/Motoseries - all have very structured novice programs. If you're confident NESBA will turn you loose on a green track and keep an eye on you, will provide 1-on-1 if you ask for it or look like you really need it. No. My fitness sucks and financially I'd rather do a day every two weeks than a weekend every month. Of course I already know the tracks and don't travel far. Mostly track rental pricing and a little less to do with the organization itself. Relax, rehydrate, eat something, BS with friends and pit-neighbors. If you are in a structured novice group you'll spend half the time in a classroom. Generally two weeks to avoid late fees and possible sellout. With the economy and whatnot mid-to-late season last year it seemed most of the dates still had openings day of. Don't be afraid to ask anyone around you any questions you may have, pretty much everyone there likes to talk about this stuff, and will help you out with anything as long as there not about to get on a bike and head out.
