- Using fluid for more than one event or in some cases for only 1 out of 2 days depends on the fluid you are using, condition of your pads, type of pads, track configuration and how hard you are on the brakes.
For the first part, I agree completely.

For #2...WOW....I ran about 20 track days a year on a single fluid fill. I was tracking a ~4000 pound car. But I am very easy on brakes.

takayuki----If the pedal fells a bit soft, all you normally need to do is flush the fluid out of the calipers, not necessarily the entire system. When I use a car for track use, I do a full flush before the start of each season.
