Set yourself up with some in-car video and maybe a datalogger so you can start doing some post-trackday analysis. You're doing great so far.

Ya, I’m pretty good on maintenance, I like to keep up with it. I believe that if you properly do proactive maintenance you should “never” (things still happen) be stuck broken down on the road. I just did a oil change as I was 1k till due but since I was hard on it at the track, I went ahead and replaced it and the oil filter. I also will be rotating the tires later this week. The transmission oil was swapped with nicer Motul 300 gear oil at ~12k miles ago, so I should be set on that for a bit longer.
