Good to hear man, it's going to be fun you'll really enjoy it. Remember make your own line when you're out there to form confidence, because other drivers have their own line they like to follow and it might not sit well with your setup. Learn the first laps by taking it easy then after you start building confidence take them harder and faster. Make sure you take a quart of oik just in case and after every session check your oil to make sure you're good. Another thing to point out don't put your parking brake after stopping as your brakes could be hot and it can eventually cause warping. And finally after every session leave your car on for at least 5 min idiling to allow it to cool a bit, you don't want to shut the car off with a really hot engine and no fan cooling it. Have fun!!!

I won't be back on the track till July for the Laguna Seca run with SpeedVentures. For those inquiring about track prices, it usually runs for $175, but it can change so check on the SpeedVentures website.
