So I've got my NASA even this weekend at VIR. Really excited to drive this car for the first time. I'll be sure to get you guys some pics.

Any last minute tips? It's a 2000 trans am WS6.

Try to get an instructor familiar with either F-bodies or heavy cars with horsepower. Your past experience should let you know to adjust your brake points on track since you are changing platforms.

Set the parking brake during tech. That should eliminate the c-clip noise that occurs when laterally moving the car. DON'T set the parking brake after your sessions when you return to your pit stall.

I set the heater temp to full hot and have the fan on low or medium during my sessions, then place the fan on high during the cooldown lap. YMMV; this is summer. May not need to do that in fall/winter.
