Awesome, thank you everybody. I am starting a little list here and I am going to work through them.
  • Change brake fluid (I don't see a recent fluid change on my service history)
  • Check brake pads, make sure I have over half, and possible take a spare set of fronts
  • Get a tire gauge (I have been meaning to do this)
  • My coolant cap was replaced summer of 2012 by the previous owner, I will pop it off and check to see that it is 04
  • Check the fuel situation, see where the closest is to the track
  • Check my tires (Sumitomo HRZ III, rears have 4,800 miles on them, fronts have more but good tread still)

If I am in novice instructed, does that mean an instructor is riding with me the entire time, or that I am following an instructor in a group of cars? Hopefully the first as I feel I have a lot to learn and having an instructor in the car would be awesome.

iaincamp - thank you for the "hot" tip!

Topless - thank you for the excerpt from the ground school instruction

gavinyuill - thank you for the tire gauge advice and the painters tape, these are all things I would probably be scrambling for once I got there. Good luck next season!
