Hi Vant:

You are my favorite "poster" for your wittiness. Now I see you are an organized and pragmatic person, too.

Here are a few more thoughts I had....

1. Check sway bar nuts and bolts, especially on the front where the sway bar bolts to the aluminum a-arm.
2. Make sure your brake lines have enough length in them when your suspension is fully extended
3. Check wheel lug nuts with torque wrench
4. Check tires for excessive wear, flat-spots, cuts and bad/worn/cracked valve stems
5. Check wheels for cracks, especially around the spokes. This is even true of heavily used CCWs.
6. If pulling tranny/torque tube out of car for other maintenance, check around the bolt holes on the clutch pressure plate for cracking. Once you get to 40-50 track days, if you pick up a vibration in your car that varies with the clutch in and out, I would bet the pressure plate is beginning to get cracks around the bolt holes.
7. Add Redline Water Wetter to radiator
8. Tape up wheel weights with duct tape or that shiney silver/heat-reflective tape so when the wheel weight adhesive melts from the rotor heat that they don't fall off your wheel
9. Tape up the rocker panels below the doors and behind the doors go has high-up and all around the rear brake ducts. On tracks with debris and gravel, this is where 95+% of the paint chipping will occur.
10. Make sure transponder, if any, is secured by at least two tie-straps, plus some tape is recommended, too.
11. Make sure windows and mirrors are clean and not smudged, etc.
12. Adjust mirrors
13. Make sure seat back is up-right and seat is close enough that you can reach the steering wheel with bent arms at the elbows. You will have much better car control this way.
14. Camera batteries charged and extra tapes if you are doing in-car video.
15. Don't use DVD or hard drive cameras. They don't record properly in the high G-force environment of the track.
16. With the car on jacks, wiggle the wheels. If they have some play and move back & forth with your hands at 6 and 12 o'clock, you probably have bad wheel bearings. If they show some play with your hands at 3 and 9 o'clock, you probably have worn tie-rod end-links
17. Check rotors for cracks, especially the front rotors
18. Thank your spouse profusely for his or her support in letting you go do a stupidly expensive endeavor.
