Anyone else planning on attending? Any words of wisdom? This will be my first track experience...

How about help with the basics... tire pressure for PZeros Asimmetricos

Thunderhill is a great track for beginners. I suggest riding with an instructor...also I let an instructor drive my car my first time to see what my car could do.

Hi Carolina,

Welcome to a very addicting venue.

I was going to attend this but had to shift my track day to tuesday 9/13 at Thunderhill.

You'll have alot fun.
If it's your first track day, you'll be in NASA HPDE1 with a in-car instructor.
You'll get many good tips in your download session. The only word of wisdom for you with our rear heavy cars is to accelerate out of a turn, conversely DON'T lift out of a turn else you'll spin.

Tire pressure is such a personal thing. See if you agree with this article. http://www.rennlist.com/996_faq/b.htm
Just remember to check the tire pressure when the tires are hot (right after a session), especially in the afternoon when the ambient and track temperature goes up.
