Matt - code has been emailed to you.
Your prep looks good. Just be sure to ensure engine oil is always topped up and that you bleed brakes before the event.
Jeff (blueosprey90) is a very nice person and extremely funny. So don't let his eye roll icons make you think he is being mean. You'll enjoy meeting him as much as you will enjoy meeting everyone else on Upstate. We have a great bunch of people in this sub-forum.

Be sure to have your friend put you down as having referred him. You'll get a coupon from SCDA towards another event.

I am well aware that the car is going to outperform the driver so my goal is to learn and have some fun!
Whatever you do, don't lift in the corners!
Since Mr. Aashish convinced the powers that be to do a Boot delete track day, the Aarmco wall at Turn 6 won't distract me.

Perhaps these study aids may help. In the video, notice placement of inside tire in relationship to concrete patches.

Having said that I am excited about the short course. The only time I drove it, was with Greg in my car, when the incident with the 911 happened. It would be nice to drive another flavor of Watkins Glen.

Well I broke down and bought a Hard Dog roll bar today so if all goes well it will be installed for this event and all will be good. Thanks for everyone's help and opinions! I'm pretty pumped for this. I took my Silverado out on the Glen last year before I bought the s2000 and ever since, I have wanted to run my car on the track. Other than the roll bar, my setup for the first track day will be: new fluids all around, Project Mu NS400 pads, challenge stainless brake lines, custom front brake ducts, 225 square Hankook RS-3s on stock AP1 rims, moddiction front sway bar, Fujita intake, and AP2 retainer upgrade. Is there anything else I should worry about from a reliability standpoint (understanding that my car has 188k miles)?
A2, can you send me the sign up code?

Nice prep and for the roll bar! When doing the brake fluid be sure to remember the clutch fluid too (it's brake fluid so use the leftover if you did not know). The clutch gets pretty cruddy looking in the reservoir for some reason.
