Yes, they do. You'll be going to the driver meeting like everyone else, and then you - the rookies - will congregate and go with the Rookie Counselor for your bit of verbal training and then a ride down the rookie course* in your personal vehicle - not the race vehicle.
* I might be wrong here -- the ride might be on the#3 course like the un-rookies do.
Anyway, course #4 is the "rookie" course, so once the rookie training is complete you'll be sent to do what you will. Most folks return the their pit, grab the race vehicle, and make their way back to #4 for that first-ever, never-to-be-forgotten ride down the salt. I envy you - remembering how thrilled I was when I made my first pass. Best wishes and good luck.
