I don't want my car to over heat, I don't want to spray the track with oil/antifreeze, I don't want to injure myself or anyone else. Chances are that I'm not going to push my car to the limit because like you all have said, I'm new at this!
Seems like most of you are saying change my fluids, brake pads and rotors, and I should be fine. I'm looking forward to my first time at the track! Hopefully it'll be sooner rather then later.
Thanks again guys!

Brake cooling ducts are a good place to start, as is fresh fluid/brake pads.
Definitely don't need the head cooling mod or anything major, especially at the beginner levels. But the front brakes definitely do get hot fast stopping these heavy cars in a hurry.
