Spend the first year doing as many events as you can (within reason). Keep the car stock but you might want to change to a stickier (low treadwear rating) street tire. Otherwise, don't change a thing.

The fun factor should be in getting out onto a course and ripping it up without any worry of getting a ticket and learning how to drive well.

Your stock daily driver should hold up fine. My car (still stock) has 20 track days so far this year and it looks as good as ever and runs as well as ever.

After a year of driving, assess where you are and where you want to go. You'll be amazed at how much better informed you'll be. And even more so, you'll know exactly where to put the $5,000 IF you really want to try to compete for some wins.
