Do I need to change my stock brake fluid?
A friend of mine suggested that i change my stock brake fluid before taking my S to the track. His reasoning being that usually stock brake fluid has a low boiling point. The heats are only going to be 15mins long each time I get on the track. The track is Toronto Motorsports Park, just in case that makes a difference.

Yes, and you should also get some brake pads that can handle a higher temperature if you haven't already. At least the front pads. I don't know anything about the track you mentioned, but you should ask your friend (or in the S2000 race forum) if that track is hard on brakes. Having said that, I did a track day in February when the weather was pretty cool with the stock brake fluid but racing pads and didn't experience any fading.
I will be changing to better fluid next time I go to the track.

I'd probably change the brake pads and brake fluid. When I went to my first track day, after the first ~5 laps I had to push my pedal all the way to the floor to try and stop the car (massive amounts of brake fade). I did have ATE blue brake fluid so I was semi prepared.
