I would change the oil 1st to minimize engine wear, check brakes to insure proper operation & adequate pad thickness, inspect tires for unusual wear or cracks in the sidewalls from age especially near the rim edge & inflate tires 10psi over normal psi spec to minimize outer tire treadwear After a few laps adjust psi to even treadwear across the full surface & monitor brake pad wear, oil & coolant level. At this point the driver controls wear on the car.

It will be fine stock. Just go and have fun. These cars were made to handle the track.

I went recently. After the track day was over, my tires and brakes were still more than good. Barely made a difference. My oil was still relatively clean and golden brown so I did not change the oil.

All I did to prep it for the track is check my oil level, tire pressure, and clean the leaves, sticks, and rocks out of the front bumper to get more air to the radiators.
