Wish me luck

Well I have done 1 autox in a parking lot w/ cones to direct you, you know the drill. I had only had the car for a real short time and have never done that before. Fast foward a year later w/ no more "practice". A friend has been on me to do some racing w/ him and he told me about a club to join. I finally said yes to this 1 b/c the first event is at Sebring!! I know I will have an instructor w/ me but, still cool! Anything I should do to prep for this(change oil,alignment ect...)?

I have been to this track several times for races and have watched them on tv, I get goosebumps just thinking that I'm going to "race"on it.

Re: Wish me luck

What group are you running with and when are you going? I'm going to drive Sebring for the first time with Chin Motorsports on May 14th.

Re: Wish me luck

You've been to the track so you probably already have a helmet, and with those tires you should have a blast. So, good luck.
Tip: You'll want to run a little more tire presure than normal. Maybe 36, or 38 psi.
