Factory seat belts are normally good for the life of the car so its not a worry for most car owners who want to take their street car to the track. Aftermarket harnesses require replacement every 5 years. I can't explain why the difference.

If the brakes and tires are in good condition beforehand, the typical first time driver on a track is not likely to be pushing the car anywhere near hard enough to wear out the tires or brakes in a single day. Of course, it can be done if you really try hard enough, but its not typically an issue.
