I should be there for that. I'd rather do full, but north is the better of the two. You don't get the infamous "uphill esses" or Oak Tree, but you do get Hog Pen which is a great turn for RWD folks - and a scary one for the fwd crowd. Basically, if you lift you go off and if you understeer you go off!
My only hang up is having a car that soon. I'm pulling the 240 from track service this fall... I just hope I'm not too poor from my next project to make it. I'm sure uuninja will be there and hopefully a few more "s" cars can make it.
BTW: suspension is so much less important that brakes and an LSD. I'd recommend a z32 swap w/ an SR. I have some of the best pads for the factory brakes and they work great... but having driven Brian's SR - I would want a LOT of brakes!! I still have my 125K mi. stock suspension and only recently have I used the limits - so I wouldn't worry as much about it as you might imagine.
Brakes, tires, and LSD - in that order. Those are the most important things for going to a track day. The other thing is that as a novice - you don't really want a car with a razor sharp "edge" (i.e., the point between control and no control) for your first time out. Street tires are forgiving - as is a softer suspension. If you go out there w/ a race car, you will try to drive like it which really isn't the best way.
