Just speaking from my first time out at the track, there is no way in hell that I could have needed anything more than the stock car. Just make sure you have some fresh brake fluid and go have a good time!
^WHS. I like NCRC for a well run and very inexpensive track days. But you pay extra for an instructor (something I highly recommend) and the price becomes comparable to HOD and others.

If I had to do it all over again I'd go with NCRC for my first day (learn the flags, learn the track, get all of the overwhelming input under control, get some familiarity with procedures), then go with HOD or BMWCCA for a couple of days to get some serious instruction. The second and third time out with an instructor (via NCRC) was really good, and I learned a lot. But some have had variable experience with instruction, and HOD and others are totally geared in the instruction direction. NCRC's focus is more on a well run and affordable experience for more seasoned drivers.
