Here are some suggestions from a newbie that attended the HPDE at Sebring put on by the Corvette Museum.
Bring sunglasses and test the sunglasses with the helmet on. Sometimes it can make a big difference with sunglass fit with the helmet on. Please, please, please upgrade the brake fluid to a high temp fluid. Has good as our brakes are, the fluid needs a little help. Bring a Go Pro if you can. It real adds a lot to a very memorable day. If you own a ZL1, you owe it to yourself and the car to see what she can really do. If you are a novice, the car is already much better than you are. To a skilled driver, she will make you better. Have Fun !! It will be the best money and the most fun you will ever have !!! Be safe and take lots of pictures for us to enjoy. I wish it was closer or I would be there for sure.

Not that I'm aware of...CGI's policy is that unless the rain produces dangerous conditions...they run. It provides a chance to learn how your car handles with limited traction...This is as much a learning experience as it is for fun - and they take advantage of damp conditions to teach wet handling.

OldJedi, what brand of brake fluid do you suggest? I have DOT 4 in there now but I don't know if it's high temp. Thanks!

I am not OldJedi obviously, but I went with the Motul RBF600, it is a bit more than "normal" brake fluid.

I am using Wilwood EXP 600 Plus Super High Temp Racing Brake Fluid. I had Torq professionally power flush the brake system before I tracked the car. I could have used the old style two person push pedal, open bleeder. The power flush is much faster and will do a better job. There are a lot of good DOT 4 & 5 brake fluids. Erik at Torq has a lot of road racing experience and I took his recommendation. I hope this helps.
