Read the rules of the class you propose to run so you don't do anything that will have to be undone. Talk to those who race in that class. Do some DE days first. Invest in a helmet and a rollbar extension if required. Do the brake fluid change. Ask people what they use for brake pads for dual use.

In short, don't spend a lot of $ until you are sure you want to stay with that hobby...it is a slippery slope. There are always cars around people have spent too much $ on and then found they don't want to continue.

OTOH, if by track days you mean DE, again find out what is required from those running the event and the track where it will be held. Get a safety inspection well before your first day.
