Main questions I can think of right now:
o What tire pressure (cold) should I go with front and rear? Bleed them to keep them to 42 psi (somewhere between 40 and 44 is probably good) , you'll have to put air back in before you head home
o Is it worth it to put in the higher octane (101+)? Are there any possible problems with possibly mixing a 93 octane that's in the tank with a much higher octane? Not necessary
o What are the best/most popular break pads out there for both track and street? The stock ones are fine for now until you et to C and B group
o Any suggestions on extra things to bring out to the track?
Helmet (SNELL 2000 or newer required).
Cotton/natural fiber long pants and long sleeved shirts are required
Extra quart (or two) of oil
Beverages (water or Gatorade) to replace the body fluids you will lose at the track.
Glass cleaner and paper towels
Gas - fill up before arriving at the track to save a bit of money; Gas is avail. at track by credit card pumps (open all of the time).
Other tools and parts as desired. Examples: extra brake fluid, coolant, air compressor, hoses, belts
.
Sunscreen and/or a hat and maybe bug spray
Lawn chair(s)
A tarp or two to protect your gear from the elements (remember, it might rain)
A relaxed, open mind for learning something new and exciting, and the willingness to be guided by your instructor.
