Any experienced road warriors have any suggestions or can share their experience with a stock 2SS on a race track?
Handling quirks, braking points, handling understeer and controlling a drift, etc.
Thanks.

I haven't driven a 5th gen SS on the track, but it's pretty much the same for all cars. First lap out you will just be taking it easy and learning the track, After that you just gradually get faster. You won't be drifting at all really. You will also have an instructor riding along with you giving you pointers and telling you where to brake and where to turn in. Just make sure you build speed gradually lap after lap. You will find the limits without hurting anything. NOLA is a good track to learn on because there aren't too many places to really screw up. The biggest thing is to get off the gas and on the brakes if you start to lose it.
I would recommend downloading a track timer app (harrys, trackaddict, etc.) and record your sessions. Don't worry about them while you are out there, but when you get back check to see how you are progressing. You should get faster and faster as the weekend goes on without much effort.
