If you're unsure of the whole track thing, most providers offer a sampler or street ride option. This might be two sessions in the morning or a lunch time parade lap for free. Think of it like a free sample from the dealer to get you addicted. Also, even if people in the puts look like they're off in their own little world, almost everyone is always friendly and open to talking if you approach them.
Thanks I've actually signed up for the track day at Summit Point on June 20th. My one question is, because I'm going to be getting new tires before I go. How long should you "break in" the tires before taking them to the track? I know that new tires have something on them that makes them a bit slick when they're right out the box.
