Congrats on finally making that leap of faith and tracking your car. What track is it? The bare minimum, I would swap out your brake fluid. It will boil and you may lose brake pressure if it gets too hot(which it will with oem fluid). I definitely do not recommend racing without DOT4 or higher brake fluid (higher boiling point). The next thing you need is pads (this can probably wait till your next event but would suggest getting racing compound pads ASAP). Your sport brake pads will disintegrate quickly. They may melt unevenly and ultimately cause the car to shake.
