No worries mate^^
No tags needed to run on the track, it only two screws.
They have "track only" insurance that will cover any on track issues.
You have to be smart, savvy and just use your melon when it comes to using your DD at track events. Get extra insurance, medical, prep the car and have fun. Its easy.

let me know if you are going

I might not be able to make it to this one after all, a plan came up. Will you be going to the next one? As I've never been to a race track at all, I'd love to see what it would be like in a faster class.

Driving your car secured to your seat is big advantage over wrenching yourself in place with your arms and legs. You actually get to relax your death grip on the wheel and seriously feel the car for the first time.

ISFSPORT10, Hard to imagine frying the brakes on an S5, but then, its hard for me to imagine even owning an S5 ... I'd have wet dreams even thinking about running that one around a track for sure !
You should get in touch with Porterfield and see if they can make you a set of their R-4 Carbon Kevlar race compounds... Absolutely sweet stopping power, even on glowing rotors!

Yeah didnt think that would happen. They were absolutely fried after one day. Im so happy to have these brakes on the new car just need a set of race pads. Also really debating whether or not I want to do another day on the PS2's I know I need a better alignment but I just dont want to fry these tires after 3k miles

For those alignment/track gurus...... how big of a difference does corner balancing make at the track?

I'm very picky about suspension setup, track or otherwise.
Personally I'd never own a set of coil-overs without owning corner scales, or at the least having regular access to them. I'd corner balance every time I touch the height adjustment, just because it is the right thing to do...

I doubt you will get any skilled suspension specialist to tell you any different.
