in terms of prep work, you need to make sure your fluids are in check, no leaks, and that your brakes work. Also cleaning out your car of all loose items saves time at the event.
the 2-day clinic starts off slow, with people doing skidpads and figure-8s, then on to j-turns, abs/braking exercises and basic slaloms.
The main point of the clinic is to get you comfortable pushing the limits of your car. It is amazing how difficult it is sometimes to get people to brake HARD and to flick the car into a rotation. The exercises help you focus on one thing at a time and get comfortable with getting the car loose.
on the 2nd day they'll be a basic autocross layout so you can put everything together.
these things sell out super quick, and if you've never been to anything like this then I suggest you do, it's a great value and you learn a lot.
