2 bottles will be more than enough, unless you're just spilling fluid everywhere

Maybe we need to put together a "first time track go-er" package.
This is a GREAT idea!!!!

You are getting faster, and your brake fluid absorbs water over time. A year is ample time for it to absorb plenty of water. You should definitely switch to a better fluid. I'd recommend AP Racing Super 600. It's the same stuff we sell to many of the pro teams. 2-3 bottles would be plenty.
