1. Track pads, at least in the front, but possible in the rear too (less agressive of a pad though). Good brake fluid such as ATE Super Blue as well.
2. Spare set of rotors for when the track pads eat the first set of rotors
3. Baffled oil pan never hurts. It won't be dry sump (at least I'd find that VERY hard to believe)
4. Check oil between sessions.
For gauges I'm a fan of oil pressure (can tell you a lot, including oil starvation issues) and oil temp. Water temp is fine too but less critical since the stock inaccurate guage will be good enough for most. Auto trans temp, maybe I have zero experience with automatics on track. Most likely the auto will already have a cooler built into the radiator.
