Do not join Intermediate group if it’s your first track day.
Your first track day should be about learning to give and receive point bys safely and watching flag stands. I’ve been in intermediate groups that looked exactly like this video because people thought their 30 autocross qualified them for intermediate group. Then they’re 20 seconds off the pace, can’t manage traffic, and can’t watch flag stands. You just don’t know till you do it.
You do actually look quick in the video. As long as you were managing traffic behind well and watched flag stands better, you probably would have been fine in intermediate. But that’s the exception not the rule.

I agree I needed to learn flags and passing zones but I never held a single driver up and was passing on average almost a car per lap every heat. By heat 3 I was on everyone's bumper.

With groups that enforce instructors in every beginner's car and driver log books, to progress out of beginner there are zero requirements for pace. It's 100% about flag awareness and safety. You would've failed to progress out of DE1 due to lack of flag awareness.
Please continue to register for beginner and look into SCCA (not track nights; avoid TNiA), NASA, and Chin as they'll require you to drive with instructors.

you are dangerously making me want to grab a decent shape fwd hatch on craigslist and trying to find a local track day. that looked like a blast.
