The other thing I would add is check your brake pads. If they are any where near needing a change out, fit new ones. You will be on street pads - which are soft and will chop out quickly at the track. Depending on how much track time and how hard you push it, you can chop a lot out of a set in a day. Maybe fit new ones, and use them for the track days and then put your old ones back . Whatever works but you don't want to be driving home at the end of the day with graunching brakes.
Track time doesn't come free. Just some days/ways are cheaper than others.
