Thanks,

Cool, I used to race FF also! Love those cars!
Well, I usually have compound Rs on other wheels, so those get swapped which makes sure my lug bolts are properly torqued. I swap pads, If more than 6 mos., I swap brake fluid - Track days go downhill real fast if you start having fade or boiling issues, if less than 6 mos., I just top it all up.
Top off all fluids, make sure battery holdown and terminals are tight, remove front cover and inspect drive belt, pulleys, idlers, etc. Clean radiators from the front with compressed air or vacuum. Remove all unecessary stuff from the car, especially the frunk/trunk. Clean all glass. I also remove the storage box to eliminate any possible rattling.
I can get all this done in 90 min. if I don't dog it.
Cheers!
