Race Car Maintenance

I'm looking for some advice and suggestions on race car maintenance, things to look out for and to inspect periodically.

I've been autocrossing and tracking my BRZ for over 2 years now, all while it being my daily driver for just over 45k miles. The car is STX prepped with the only mechanical stock component being the diff(Within STX Rules).

Luckily, the only failure so far is a driver side rear cv joint, which i took the opportunity to replace both, with a pair of salvaged axles that had about 14k miles(previous owner had stock suspension, he had a blown engine and totaled it). I've been routinely changing oil at 5000 miles with AMSoil (have not had a chance to send a sample to BSL, probably should...), and changed tranny and diff fluid at 15k and 30k(planning on leaving that alone till 60k now). Brake fluid has also been changed at 40k miles when i installed SS lines/rotor and pads.

Other than the above, i haven't really done all that much to keep her in shape. Just feel i could do more to keep her healthy as long as possible.
