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.
