I just did my first track day a couple of weekends ago and my instructor was awesome. One thing he reminded me every time we finished a session was to stay off the the brakes as much as possible including doing the cool down in second gear and not touching my brakes unless I really needed to and when we got to my parking spot he would say..."foot off the brake, don't touch the parking brake, put it in gear and shut down." He said I'm going to tell you every time because so many people ruin their rotors by not letting them cool properly.
