There's a lot to it, not gonna lie. Learning flags, passing people, 'the line', braking zones, tracking out, turn in, shifting, etc. But it's all worth it. In 2 track sessions you'll start to get the hang of it and there's no going back. You'll be drooling to get better and start some sort of competition on track. In 06 I started in HPDE1 in the local NASA. In 07 I was running a caged BMW and got my competition licence at the end of the season. Look up your local NASA region and start there. Sign up for one event, and try it. Worst case you'll never do it again, one day or weekend that you didn't like. Best case, the crack pipe is lit and you'll never look at driving the same way.I would change your brake fluid to a DOT 3/4 synthetic. Valvoline is a great choice. Do a complete flush. Change the brake pads to something other than part store crap. Hawk, Carbotech, or even EBC. You have a lot of good parts on your car. Add some MM or J&M LCAs and you should have a great handling bolt-on Stang. The V8s will overheat without a big radiator. Not sure on the 6, but you'll know after a 20min session. You don't want to be sidelined when you pay $100+/day to drive, so make sure you are ready for the day/weekend.Do it!!</blockquote>
