I took my Z out to my tennis club last night, and on the way out, I ran into a fellow club member that owns a yellow Vette; don't know the year. He wondered whether my Z was brand new, and mentioned that my Z was really noticeable; it was also under the night lamp. I told him, "No. It's a 2010." I guess that my detailing job passed the test.
Anyway, it turns out, the fellow is a driving instructor, and tracks his Vette at Watkins Glen, NY. He invited me to come with a Beamer club or another club. Since I'm a newbie at sports cars, he said I'd have the most fun. I have a stock Base Z with Sports Package. What should I minimally do to prepare my Z for the track for the first time? What about the insurance company? Do you think that they would have a huge issue with my tracking my Z? I'm only looking to push my Z a little more, not a lot more, and do it safely under the guidance of an expert instructor. Any thoughts?
Also, what mods should I not do, if I want to track my car?
