A pragmatic approach was mentioned earlier. At my club we get people of all ages turn up to see what the hobby is all about and to have a practice. Yes safety is paramount but we still let them have practice between rounds by following these steps:
1) Race control announces that the track is closed so that a newcommer can have a few practive laps, if you are pitting track side take caution.
2) A volunteer committer member stands trackside to marshall
3) Another committee member stands on the rostrum with the newcommer and gives them coaching/advice as they drive around.
