Do a good look over of the car first and check all your fluids for leaks and correct amount of fluid.

Check your pads for life and if it hasn't been done recently change your brake fluid. ( I always feel number 1 thing at the track is brakes )

Check your tyres for tread and have a good alignment ( will make your experience a lot more enjoyable)


Final two for me on a stockish car is torque my lug nuts to correct torque and bring a tyre pressure gauge so i can adjust tyre pressure. i normally start on 27 psi or so and adjust accordingly

Im sure others/drivers will help you out and most importantly

Enjoy it!

Clean out the interior. Full tank of gas. Ask for an instructor that knows AWD cars.
