Another track n00b
I did my first track day a couple weeks ago at Summit Point, WV (main circuit). I went with a friend of mine that used to take his IS-350, but recently got an IS-F just like mine 
Wow, what a blast. I figured I'd only do it once to see what it was like, but I had such a good time, I must do it again.
I definitely drove with caution the 1st session, but I improved & got much faster by the 4th session. My instructor scored me all 5s (1-5 rating) for the last session which is the first step toward driving group 2 (solo).
During the last session, I even reeled in & passed a 911 turbo (996). That was gratifying since I'm sure that car would tear up the IS-F on a track with a good driver.

Welcome to the crew buddy !! As you discovered its gratifying and highly addictive. Tires and brakes are easy to replace. Its track time !!!!!! I keep saying I might have to wait a 3-4 months of the AZ Summer to hit the track again, but may do one soon because I really want to hear what the Joe Z exhaust sounds like on the track.
