Preparing for track day
Taking the car to the track for the first time. What do you guys do to prepare the car for track day. There will be anywhere from 8 to 10 cars on the track at any time. The track is approximately 2 1/2 mile road course. The owner of the track suggested that I tape up the headlights and front nose to protect against damage from track debris. For those of you that take your car to the track what do you suggest I do to prepare against damage.
Thanks - Ed

Ed, I forgot to mention track insurance. Your regular policy will not cover you or your car. (If your hear differently, be suspicious and get it in writing). I get mine through Lockton: http://locktonmotorsports.com/produc...tcode=ded03398
