Track Time
Looking for a good way to get some track time in either TN or NC. I have been to PDE (loved it), but I have a buddy with an '85 911 who has never been on a track and insists he must use his own car. I'd track mine too.
Suggestions?

if you do not mind spending some $$$ get yourself a set track wheels and tires. Well worth it. The stock tires will do great but you will take a lot of life out of them even with one event. Chin events get you a lot of track time for one day. Have a blast and be safe.

Here's a photo of my tires after a day at the track. Doubt you'll need new tires after one day.

You won't need new tires after one event. But if this is your first time, chances are you will get hooked like most 
This not something you need right away but keep it in mind for future especially as you will get better, tires make a huge difference. I had a set of Toyo RA1 on my race car and it was the best upgrade I had done. I just wish they had these tires for our cars in 19s. Might just go with 18s for the S.
