I envy you. I have done a few track days but undertook instruction days prior, all on a track. The instruction that I took was focused on road riding and the skills required to stay alive. This included quite a lot of info and laps related to cornering and braking, but in the road context.
If this is your first attempt my advice would be to take it easy and to be relaxed. This doesn't mean neccessarily to go slowly but have your thinking cap turned on such that you learn and survive and enjoy. I like to start of a bit slowly, at the back of the pack, and work forward to wherever comfortable. I don't like being passed unless by someone who knows what they are doing and gives a bit of respect. Hence remember to respect the others. Also observe that the track has usually a fair bit of space such that if you make an error it is not neccessarily all over. Its amazing what you can do if you have overcooked it but manage to stay relaxed and in control such that you can keep on braking or cornering or whatever, and next time around remember the lesson of the prior lap.
Its great fun and a bit addictive, and a heap safer than on the road.
Have fun.
