This may sound very crazy but I have been a fan of the local dirt track scene for a number of years, just not a huge fan.  Recently I have come upon an opportunity that is too good to pass up.  I have befriended the owner of a local dirt track who is getting on in age and he and his wife are wanting to retire.  He has given me the opportunity to take over his track this next season.  I am so limited in what I know about dirt track racing in general.  I am not going to pass up this opportunity, as it almost seems like a dream.  Everybody tells me I don't know what I'm getting into, but I'm going for it.  Any words of advice from the racing world out there?

Because you don't really have experience at running a track, to succeed you need to surround yourself with the right people who can handle the things you aren't good with. Stuff like promotions, finances, rules, stuff like that.

Nothing wrong necessarily with a lack of experience, your enthusiasm counts for a lot.  But cover your lack of knowledge/experience by having people around you who have what you don't.
