I am going to participate in a three day driving school event put on by my local Porsche chapter and was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a successful event. Would you guys recommend getting a bra for the car? Are there any preventative maintenance items I can do before hand? How are the clutches on the 996's, should I got pretty soft on it? What would you guys recommend as far as tire pressure on the stock Contis? Thanks for the help.

I did over 20 track or autocross days last year with my 99 and not problems except for buring through a set of tires and brake pads and the rear axle bolts backing out. A bra will definitely help protect your car, the clear stonre guard is probably better. Make sure you have had your brake fluid changed in the past year. Have the dealer check the axle bolts where it connects to the tranny. Tire pressures are improtant, but I have no experience with the Conti's. Invest in a good helmet just in case. If you are going to do this more often, a set of harnesses is a big plus too. Good luck and have fun!
You need to follow these simple rules and you will be fine:

Well main thing is a good rest the nite before and drink plenty of fluids during the day(s) at the track and drive within your ability. Listen to your instructor. Once you know the line and the brake zones other stuff will fall in place. Pre-prep your car prior to the day of the track and gather your paperwork(tech sheet/registration etc.) so you won't be fussing around in the track doing that. It really blows when your looking like a chicken without a head and you're not even on the track. Regards. Mike
All good advice on the previous posts.
One more thing. Have fun!!!! If you are too tense, stressed, and not having fun, then you are pushing too hard and may end up in an accident. Relax, stay at a speed you are comfortable with, and you will find that this comfort zone of speed gets higher naturally as the runs progress.
Here is the link to the event, I am sure it is full but it never hurts to try.
