Sounds like you had a great time.
As I posted about some months back, I did an IAM Skills Day at Thruxton which, although wasn't going 100% flat out like a Track Day, certainly was very enjoyable and I learned a lot of good things.
One of the most useful was probably to remember that you aren't Rossi et al and you aren't riding their machines, so get your braking in a bit earlier and give the bike time to settle before you turn into a corner, that way you get a much smoother line through and out the other side. This, of course, also works well on the roads...
