This is a must do. You get a huge amount out of it. I just did an advanced skills school and a HPD course in my semi-Aero 9K and you really do find where the limit is. With a modified chassis on a Saab it is far higher/faster than you can go on public road unless you're homicidal.
On a wet skid pad in the skills class I found my 9K (Aero suspension, 16" wheels, and SAS 25mm bars F&R) could lap the pad faster and in better control than a C6 Vette and an M5 Bimmer. Tires might have been some of it, all the cars had good tires on. The 9K with that suspension makes the car pretty neutral.
If you're going to do track time, think about brakes. Upgrade to 9K binders if you can and run ATE or Motul Super Blue brake fluid. Check out Porterfield for pad options.
