All great advice by RugbyBro. Though you didn't ask specifically, I'll throw out a comment on traction control. If it's dry for your track day (and your instructor is OK with it), consider starting with it fully off, right off the bat. Some may disagree on this, but assuming you respect your limits and lack of experience as a beginner, and therefore start slow and are deliberately gentle with your inputs (as you should be), this is the best way to learn, and will prevent you from ever developing bad habits as a result of the nannies doing things for you (that often in the beginning you're completely oblivious to). The healthy fear of having DSC off will force you to concentrate on being smooth. As long as you take it easy to start, know the line reasonably well and don't do anything obviously stupid, the chances of you spinning on a dry track are pretty darn low at this stage.

Do what is comfortable for you of course, but my $0.02

Have fun!
