New track junkie here. I've read the brief notes on checks/inspections post track-day on the Track Day Best Practices thread. But I'm just curious what other kinds of checks/maintenance you guys like to do post track-day to make sure everything is still in working order. Mods include oil cooler, SS brake lines, XP10/8, coilovers/arms.

Thanks!

After a trackday. I inspect all fluids, brake pads and rotors. Eyeball the tires really good. Look for any damages. I have bent my Zspeed undertray a few times from hitting curbs. Depending on mileage. I may change some fluids if they start looking different. Change the pads if they are worn down to about 30% left.

I paint-pen most of my major components and check them out after every event. That way you know exactly what’s loosening up on you. I run primarily at Sebring, which is a very rough track, so nuts/bolts loosening up is a reality. Given some recent slippage and very low torque specs on my calipers, I actually check those paint-pens mid-day during each event. May be overkill, but makes me feel better.
