    Make a list of things you need to take with you, are you going to ride up there and back in the day? could be worth hiring a van, or borrowing a trailer, makes life a lot easier, plus you can take more stuff!
    Take plenty of fluids, if its hot you can get dehydrated really quickly, which affects the concentration. Speak to the tyre guy at track, theres usually someone doing tyre and suspension set ups, and get them to adjust the pressures for you, generally lower for track, but dont forget to get them put back if you are riding home, and make sure theres enough in them for the day!(tread)
    Make sure your bike is up to it as well, a good general check over and top up of fluids and oil, as well as making sure its all buttoned up, you wouldnt believe the things that rattle loose! eh Gerry
    Leathers have to be one or two piece, but most tracks will insist that the two piece have the longer zip fitted, not just the one at the back, its worth checking out before you leave.
    Most tracks have noise testing as well, if in doubt stick to the OE can or take the baffles with you.
    Enjoy your day, its a great atmosphere, and you get to ride in the tyre tracks of your heros, its Brilliant
