For noobs, I compare the whole track-day thing to golf. It's a sport where perfection is the unreachable goal. You can hack around your home course (Summit Shenandoah being the equivalent of Haines Point Golf), and when possible you get to try another course. Tracks like Watkins Glen are like St. Andrews Golf Course. Each turn is like a hole on a golf course.
I'm not sure that this helps people to understand it, but it's the best I can do. The response is usually, "Oh, like NASCAR?"
