Thank you all. I've gone through the FAQs, great advices and read. I am planning on going to the Streets of Willow in Rosamond California. My plan was to go today but that did not go through. I do plan on going soon though.

I forgot one important point - check your tire pressures after the tires warm up. Depending on which tires you have, something around 32 hot would be ok. If you run 32 cold for regular driving, they'll get up to maybe 42 while hot and you'll be slipping around the track.

Really? At my last two events, I ran mine at 36F & 34R cold. I'm running Toyo T1Rs. I might have to lower that a bit when summer rolls around, but at the previous events, mine only started to get slightly greasy at the very end of the sessions.
It's definitely different for every tire, though, so you just have to play with it till you figure it out.
