Hello Everyone,
I took the plunge and attended my first track day at BIR on June 29, 2012 and now I Am signed up for the August 6th track day also. The instructors and staff were SUPER.
I have a 2003 Boxster base with the 2.7L. Below is a list of things I did in prepping for my first track day:
New front rotors
New EBC Yellow Stuff track pads (front only)
Flushed and filled with ATE Super Blue brake fluid
New Hankook Ventus V12 Evo K110 tires (700 miles on them by track time)
Desnorkle
Crios muffler mod
Fresh NGK Iridium spark plugs
Fresh Mobil one 10W40 Synthetic
After spending the morning driving with instructors, I spent the afternoon on my own and reported back to my instructor to discuss issues after each session. Air temp in the afternoon was 87 degrees and very humid. I had to run with all windows up and air conditioning on. Below is a Youtube link to my fifth session. Most of the other novices were off the track to take a break from the heat. There were just a few of the BIR purpose built Spec cars on the track so I felt more comfortable during this session.

I would welcome any and all constructive critique or questions. Thanks in advance.
