Check out this post for more:

track set up

Fluids first, though. You can tackle the other stuff in time, but you want good fluid in your brakes and clutch (if manual) before going on the track. Castrol SRF is the best out there, and won't need to be bled -- just remember to change it once a year or so.

Have fun!

Better pads and fluids is what I had for my first track day. Oil cooler went on for my next one. There's a chance you might hit limp mode your first time out, especially if it's hot enough. If you don't go that often I'd leave that for later.

For you guys who have the 7AT like me, word of caution...do not listen to the dealer when it comes to changing the ATF. If you track, I'd change that after every track day. If you have an oil cooler for the transmission, you can probably change it every 8-10k miles.
