Cool! For a budget track day build, you can skip the steel line for the rear. Unless your riding style lends itself to using the rear brake, the only time you will need it is advanced levels of riding, in the paddock or in the grass. lol Also, the stock rear pads will be just fine for a track day as well.

My sig has an awesome list of tracks all over the continental US. As far as the orgs go, I hope someone near you can point you in a direction that helps you the most.

As far as tire choices go for your stock wheels, get you a set of sport demons and roll out. They are great for a first track day. Not super sticky, with a low breaking point, but not the stockers either. For the most part, the STOCK tires SUCK for a track day, but some riders have got a knee down on them. YMMV, imho... overbuy by one level of tire stickiness but don't go crazy and get 125 slicks.
