Personally, I think it matters more how the track day is run, who the instructors are, and what the other drivers' attitudes are rather than the specific track

Would be a good idea to ask the OP about the background of the instructors, and the format for the instruction, the types of people who go (particularly if most cars are stock street tires or race prepped, and if there is a time attack or timing element)

For what it's worth, I think the best days for a day 1 novice in norcal based on my own experience are BMWCCA or NASA norcal, or hooked on driving at thunderhill on a week day. Also, I am learning to be skeptical of track day clubs that offer transponder rentals to novice group....
