Hi Dan,
You will love the car on the track. I took mine to the track this past weekend and there is a short write-up in Autocross/Track section.

It is the only way to learn to do it right with your own car. No matter how aggressive you drive on the street you will not approach what you can do on the track in a very controlled environment. Fernley in June? You will really want to keep a close eye on your tire temperature and pressure. RFTs - 200F and 40-42 psi hot.
