FWIW, I drove my 996 on track for a number of years. It doubled as a street car not a daily driver but more occasional car. I put in a four point roll bar (goodby backseat), seats, harnesses and PSS9s for adjustability for track and street. It was a great way to appreciate the scope of a great car. I did not run Shenandoah which is where most 996 drovers had oil starvation issues. The oil baffle will probably help here. I did do the IMS change for good measure. Get a spare set of wheels for DOT legal (track) tires to drive to/from track or beg a ride for your wheels to away events just so you have spares.

Happy to answer any questions I can from my experience.
