on brake pads: use track pad compounds on track (not street or mixed) and inspect before and during as needed. use quality brake fluid like torque rt700 or similar. don't ride brakes on track or you will overheat pad and fluid. in time you will learn to brake later and less. if you push your car, your OEM pads will fade soon enough.
on how to pick a shop to do build/maintain/inspect tracked car:
- there is a section on that in my build thread
http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79895
- reasons why I only change wheels and pads and don't do other wrenching though I know how: my life depends on it + I may not recognize if/when I do something wrong + when the shop does fluid changes, they can also inspect many other things and find things that I wouldn't + my life depends on it
on what to bring on track:

- you at least want to be able to torque lug nuts (not right after runs when hot) with a torque wrench (Harbor Freight ones are cheap and good enough) and measure tire pressures (hot pressures should usually be 2-4 PSI higher than what's on the door frame stickers).
