Default Tracking my y2k vert {question}

Ok guys I have a pretty serious question. My job is offering an awesome deal for a "get away". Two ideas have been circling around because of the gear heads that we have in my job area The president of our company being a race ready person himself has sought for either a day or two on the dream car cruise tour featuring a Lamborghini gallardo, Porsche gt3/911 turbo, a Ferrari f430, a corvette Z06, and a dodge viper gts. This is my personal option seeing as I dont see myself owning any of these cars any time soon, I would love to at least drive them. The second Idea is to rent a track for a day and let us choose to use rented vehicles or our own personal cars and track to our hearts content.http://www.hallettracing.net/

My question is that If I were to track my y2k how bad would it destroy my drilled and slotted rotors and breaks and what other worries would I have to deal with?

Personally I would not track my own car.

#1 You crash it and your insurance will not cover it.

#2 Rocks and track debri will damage your car.

#3 See # 1.

There are several performance driving schools out there where you can use there cars (including Vettes) Big advantage is you get some valuable instruction.

Might check out Spring Mountain here in So. Nevada.

I'm fairly certain that you'll need a roll bar or hardtop for anything more than low-speed autocross. Have fun!
