OK, next question: helmets. What is required/recommended, and where are some good places to look for them? I'd like to go someplace where you can try them on, as I have a big ole noggin.

Generally SA-2005 is what is or is going to be required. M2005 may work as well but you would need to check with the sanctioning body or the organization hosting the event. I don't know if there are any race shops around your area, you might need to google that but I went to a motorcycle shop and tried a few on. You will also want to go with an open face.

What kind of brake fluid do you guys recommend? How much you think I'll need? Keep in mind this is my first track day, so I doubt I'll be driving it nearly as hard as you guys do. Going to try to focus more on being smooth.

I am in the process of deciding whether to run Gingerman with NASA or RA with the F-body club. Being that I'll be doing RA again in two weeks I might do the gingerman event. The only thing holdng me back is the 4 hour drive

I have been using the stock brake fluid and had very little brake fade since I started using the car. I have had to bleed the brakes once in the past 3 yrs. It's probably time, for me, to do a fluid swap. Just due to the age of the fluid.
