^^^ Don't be THAT guy.
When I started track, I used to roll off the throttle on the straights or short shift up to let the faster riders by. Nothing more frustrating than a noob on a YAMAGIX1000000RR with an unpredictable line around the corners that drag races you full throttle on the straights.
That said, concentrate on your own ride. Faster riders will/should get around YOU.

HAVE FUN!
great advice...much appreciated.

as stated before, i'll be out there with a bunch of newbs, so hopefully i won't be pissing any other riders off...and hopefully i won't get plowed into by someone else

You'll have a blast man. Just take things slow and get to know the track before you try to go fast. Learn the flags.
Hit up an instructor and ask him for tips and to show you the best lines around the track. I've done like 20 trackdays and still hit up instructors and try to do atleast a few laps with them. They'll usually follow you for a bit and have you follow them for a bit.
Stay hydrated.
Start saving now cus you'll need all the money you can spare for trackdays.
LOL
