take a air compressor so you can make tire adjustments as needed

You'll want to run lower psi for the track. Ask the tire guy what he recommends.
I bought a bicycle pump for $25, comes in real handy at the track.

I've ridden what you people call *twisties*. I hate to break it to you... those aren't twisties. Though, they are better than a straight grid pattern.

#1 thing to remember... your bike key.

There are honest to goodness twisties out there... I've ridden them... Some people think that 130mph sweepers are twisties... I am not one of them...
