Don't worry about being nervous when riding with others. You'll get over it. I've seen people that were literally shaking with fear on the bike turn in to comfortable racing vets in no time.
The season is over at DLV right now. Keep an eye out for a Beginner's Class sometime in March 2013, which will be 1 month before the season starts.

Keep an eye out for when "Winter Training" starts. Usually in January or so. Come and watch and ask questions. You won't be able to ride the track till you finish the beginner class for safety and insurance reasons.
The calender is actually up to date:

If 8 year old kids can do it, you can do it!

Awsome! I cant wait to watch some people out there before I jump into it. It will just be weird for me though since I usually ride by myself. I dont have a high end track bike(I dont think I need a full carbon rig.lol.). Its a KHS Flite 100 with everyday parts(IRD cranks, profile hubs, NJS stem, Brooks saddle, etc.). How many people are usually in the beginner class?
