Hi Wolverine,
The main prep for your bike will be taping up the lights,checking tyre pressures, and making sure all the basic things(chain tension,bolt tightness is ok).
A few of the guys are instructors and are all happy to help
Last year there was a session at lunchtime that allows those that have never been on a track to have a go.
There is an evening session this time as well,so if you didn't fancy a whole day,you could do that.
