Been there once and I was really surprised at what a cluster it is. I understand that you may not be able to accomplish all these things, but this is my advice.

1) Do exactly what you are doing, find out what times are best...barely current rec pilots come here and really are crazy. The less airplanes the better!

2) Try to get someone who has done this before to go with you, if not, sit with someone who has done this many times and get their insight on the whole operation.

3) Try to bring a safety pilot and delegate responsibilities. It felt hectic for me being the pilot flying when I had a safety pilot in the front and one in the back strictly looking for traffic and one in the back making sure I was complying with the NOTAM. Doing it on your own will be tough.

4) When they say prepare for slow flight and s turns...they mean it. If the idiot in front of you cannot hold airspeed you may need to change configurations more than once...so be ready.

5) LISTEN UP. 2 things on this. Make sure that you are absorbing all the radio calls you can and processing them correctly. You really need to know where others are and what the controllers want you to do. Also, the controllers are not perfect. Although they know many types, they may just call you "Blue over white low wing". Just because they say "gold over white Diamond" doesn't mean it not you if you're flying a Cirrus. This is where spotters really help.

6) Don't be sloppy. There are enough other idiots who screw things up as much as they can. Spacing is very important to keep the flow moving. Do your best.

All that said, try to make sure you have fun an soak up the experience...cause, boy, its and experience. G'luck and fly safe.
