What a great writeup!!

I used to get the willies before a track day weekend -- not anymore. I think this just takes some time to shake off as you gain confidence in yourself, and your car. I also think this stems from not wanting to "embarrass" yourself... Which - if you go with the attitude of "this is not a race - this is just for fun"... then you can overcome that feeling as well. I'm lucky that for the last year + - I've had Ron Sutton in my pit - and he calms you down - reminds you that you need to start out slowly - relearn the track - relearn yourself - be nice to the tires - warm everything up (including yourself) etc... and that's a great way to just have a fantastic weekend of driving. I also think it helps to be surrounded by friends that are there to help you, and give you plenty of crap. That way you're too busy defending yourself to be thinking about being nervous.
