Depends on the state and track org. Its kinda weird though. The states that you can't ride year long nor have good riding roads have a wide variety of riders. There are people who never got to the edges of the tires AND you have people that ride the track twice a month and are fast. This can be dangerous though, even in the street group.

Being in CA and riding canyons all the time the riders even in the street groups are surprisingly good...moreso on the weekdays.

To answer your question I wouldn't ride the track unless you've had at least 1 year of riding and some good road practice. You should be honing in on your skills on a track, not learning how to ride the bike. Learning how to ride the bike is going to hamper other riders safety IMO.
