do tracks usually have equipment to facilitate this?
#1. Looks that easy to me. But again, I haven't tried. There is a spring clip that might take a few extra seconds to place, but looks that simple.

#2 Not sure where you are going, but every track I have been to I needed to bring my own tools. I normally I change into track pads at home and then drive to the track. But I always have a few critical tools with me.....
Jack & jack stand
tools to remove tires
tools/fluids to bleed brakes
tools to change brake pads
Coolant
Glass cleaner
Rubbermaid tub to keep it all in if it rains. Or a tarp to wrap it up.

I instruct for the Audi club. If you go to an Audi event with my "home" chapter, I would say come with no tools. Someone will help you. Then you will know what you need for the next event. I can't comment on open lapping formats (Hooked on Driving, etc).
