If your able to change out your antifreeze for a mixture of water with about 20% antifreeze. If this is about to become a track only car just swap it out and use some water wetter. don't do the swap and forget it over winter if your in a cold climate / no garage!! There is something to be said about anti corrosion but just a bit of antifreeze can solve that.

The reason behind this is antifreeze is very slick on track, oil being the worst. Last thing you want is a slightly darker spot on the track to become an ice hazard. And its actually really dangerous if its anywhere near track out or the apex of a turn.

Then to top it off some tracks can charge you, and it will be on the $$$ side, to clean it up. AND you just stopped the session... super popular guy in the drivers meeting / class lol.

Check all of your lines for leaks, even just a bit of dried gunk can be the sign of something worse on track. Keep in mind that everything will be getting nice hot and possibly loose.
