Anyway, it turns out, the fellow is a driving instructor, and tracks his Vette at Watkins Glen, NY. He invited me to come with a Beamer club or another club. Since I'm a newbie at sports cars, he said I'd have the most fun. I have a stock Base Z with Sports Package. What should I minimally do to prepare my Z for the track for the first time? What about the insurance company? Do you think that they would have a huge issue with my tracking my Z? I'm only looking to push my Z a little more, not a lot more, and do it safely under the guidance of an expert instructor. Any thoughts?
You should upgrade your brake pads, brake fluid, and add an oil cooler.

Most insurance companies won't cover track activity. Contact your insurance company to see if they do. If they do, GET SOMETHING IN WRITING confirming it.

There are boutique companies out there that offer track day insurance.
