Christopher, Familiarity with the track would probably make you a little more comfortable, but you shouldn't worry about it. Are you doing a single or double school?
You'll have plenty of time to pick up the line at school. It should be discussed in classroom before the on-track sessions begin. That will probably be followed by a ride around in your instructor's street vehicle to show you the line from course level. Then there are NO PASSING on-track sessions before passing is allowed. By the time passing is allowed, you'll probably be VERY comfortable with the line. BTW, all of the above is based on the double school at Gateway last March.
