Yes, absolutely: Have fun!
Really, that's it.

You don't say what organization your track day is with. If you can, get an instructor to ride with you. Instructors are absolutely invaluable and will make your experience much more informative and exciting.

Don't worry about times, speeds, passing etc. just enjoy yourself and soak up the information you get and the excitement of driving at those speeds. You'll have a blast.

Do check your mirrors and give point-by's in accordance to the event rules. But then again, don't stress/freak out if you don't see a car right away or "hold up" a fellow student for a turn or two.

Oh, and don't be afraid to admit when you're tired/exhausted and take it easy. The worst things happen on the last session of the day/weekend when drivers are more tired than they care to admit. Don't be that guy.

Otherwise, as said - have fun!
