As for the track time....I don't have the balls to be in the right seat with them.....do you?
Actually...BTDT at Summit Point in WV with the BMW club. Truth is, while people talk up a storm about their driving, I have never in almost 10 years of instructing had a new student that wasn't overwhelmed by traveling on a track at even 8/10ths. By the time they get over their terror, they are usually humbled enough to be very careful and attentive.

Its the students with 15 days that will hurt you if you're not careful. They really do know enough to be dangerous.
