What say on regular maintenance intervals. For example my brake fluid is now turning darker after my last event.
Brake fluid
Clutch fluid
Transmission fluid
Differential fluid
Engine oil/filter
Any other items I'm missing

Brake fluid: as needed or once a year, whichever comes first
Clutch fluid: once a year, using leftover fluid from doing the brakes
Transmission fluid: I do it every 10k on my personal car; fluid isn't expensive. A tank of gas costs more. 15k should be more than enough for most people.
Differential fluid: Same, I do every 10k on my personal car. Stock diff? Every 15k is more than enough. IIRC, factory interval is 60k?
Engine oil: Start with 5k if you're using a quality synthetic.
Trans/Diff/Engine fluid intervals are best determined by used oil analysis, but if you don't want to do that, changing more often won't hurt anything except your bank account. Remember that fluids are cheap insurance.
Also, all of the above is assuming you're using top shelf stuff (Motul Gear 300, 300V, or equivalent).
