Basic but mandatory track mods help needed.

I appreciate the input. This gives me a place to start. On one of my past track cars I did DIY brake cooling front and rear. I think this car is going to get that treatment. My thinking isn't really that it is 100% needed but I want the brakes to be as consistent as possible for the wife. I am used to recognizing and managing fade. The wife is not. If I can take that out of the equation it will be a good thing.

At my home track I was a spectator for a number of years before I got my own car, I would hang out in the corner that got people in trouble and watch the drivers when things went bad. What I found was when something unexpected happens a large number of people would just freeze up and quit driving. They would take no action and ride the car into the tire wall. If I do everything possible to keep things like fuel starvation from happening hopefully the wife won't ride the car into something.
