IMO if you can handle a bike properly in the middle of a tight bunch coming up to the line in a slightly hairy devil, and you can hold your own fitness-wise in track league, you'll be fine. You probably won't win anything though.
Just for a laugh, last year's Good Friday meeting was my first track racing for over 20 years. (Recent experience being a season's worth of intermediate Saturday sessions.) It was a slight baptism of fire but I lasted more than half way through the B Devil and finished half way up the field for the scratch race. Bloody hard work but fun.
