I've never road raced before and am going to Gingerman this weekend for the Motorstate Challenge. I'll probably get about 4 runs, maybe 3 laps each.

My biggest issue is the Nitto drag radials on the back, not the best for road racing and Goodyear Eagle F1's up front. I called Nitto and they said inflate them to the max and they will get me through the day, but don't expect the to perform like Pilot Cup tires.

I have standard BDR with e-36 brakes (pretty small), no abs or power brakes/ steering, a long throw shifter and large wood moto-lito steering wheel, so I have some challenges. But the biggest problem is I don't know what I am doing. I'll probably have a track expert ride with me the first time.

What other suggestions do you have?
