Brake fluid, sure. Clutch fluid is too easy NOT to do yourself.

Besides, I'll be changing the tranny fluid soon anyway so i might as well do the clutch while I'm down there

Maybe true, but only a dolt would use off the shelf DOT3 on the track...

this would depend on the track....DOT3 would be fine for certain tracks....like shannonville where you don't hit high speeds.

don't car mags take brand new, as-delivered, stock cars out to tracks for their articles???

and i've never read an article wher they've mentioned that a car's brakes faded to the point of being unsafe.
