New guy with an old GSXR

Hi all,

Some people have ridden their entire lives, but I figure I'm not the only guy around that rode for years, got out of the habit when the baby happened and then got right back into it when the kid moved out.
I've been riding for about two years now, have returned to my home state of Florida and am prepping for track days, something I've never done before. PJ at Sportbikes4Hire (friendly and very willing to share info) actively encouraged me to register here as a means to begin.

Bike: 86 GSXR 750 with 17" wheel conversion.
I have a couple of other bikes but figured this was the most appropriate one to use. There are better bikes but this should be okay for a novice and I'll change my platform when it's appropriate (and fundable). Maintenance is good, pads will be new, new Dunlop Q3s, fresh oil and no leaks of any kind. I do need to have my suspension set up. I have a shop in mind for that and I'm hoping he'll respond soon.

I'm rounding up my gear now;
Track leathers: Have them
Boots/gloves: Getting them
Helmet: Is my modular going to be a problem?
Spousal agreement: She's actively encouraging it.

I need to poke around and see what's available and when for novice activities at Jennings (3.5 hrs from me) and PBIR (2 hrs). Since I've just moved back I'll be doing this solo, so it'll be good to meet others that have this same interest.

The leathers are new, they just showed up and smell fantastic.
