Over 50 my first time on a motocross track.
As the others said hold your line and don't try to move over to get out of a faster rider's way and you will be fine. If you try to avoid them or to get out of their way, you are likely moving right into the line they picked to get around you. I have NEVER had anyone get on me about having to pass me (practice or in races) and almost everyone will be very supportive, friendly, and offer good advice.
I rode on a farm and on trails as a kid but never a track. I find a freshly prepped track really difficult - especially when tilled deep, something about the loose dirt, so I tend to wait until a track is ridden on a bit and the ruts/lines are more solid. The plus is at the end of the day the tracks are less crowded too.
You are going to crash, you might get hurt, but rehabbing is part of the experience.
I race Post Vintage and love it. Get some track time then get an old bike and join us. The anticipation and thrill of lining up at the gate and racing is hard to describe but oh sooooo fun!!!
