You think this would be worth the price of admission?

or track day?
I would go to the first one - the cruise - and see if you like it. See if you can at least follow the racing line (you won't be racing, or even going fast), and if it's something you might like to do again.
If it is, then do a real track day. If you like that, then it's time to look into track days that allow some competition. But, your car would probably love one of those days, even if you're in the novice group. (And it's perfectly fine to be a novice - do NOT pretend to have more track experience than you do! There's no ego or shame in it.)
Finally, in both events you'll find people with neat cars and (generally) great attitudes. They'll happily help you out, answer questions, or even get your car running again if there's a mechanical issue.
So you think it is worth the price of admission?
Absolutely. $20 is very reasonable. Hell, you should see what it costs to rent the entire track for a day.
