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.

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.
