where are you?
I have Qs 1-track tire pressure? 2-do i really need to change brake fluid and bleed!? 3-how do i check my brake pad thickness? 4-how much is "enough"? And am i going to have to replace them immediately after?! Feeling a bit panicky and overwhelmed! What else?! How bad is this going to beat my Z up?!

2) No but it can only extend the track time before it boils. I went to Sears Point at least 4 times with a stock set up before i changed my brakes at all. 3) I hire this done. Ask another for certainty, but I think you remove the wheel to inspect the pads visually. You might be able to use a mirror though. 4) Your track looks like you will have one big brake zone followed by a cooling down of the brakes via slight use. I think you will be fine all the way around. Go a little slower,down shift, and coast a bit into your big braking zones and they ought to hold up without worry. Your Z will not be beat up so badly really. With 11 track events on mine, people still ask if it is new. I did put on an acrylic wax that seems to have helped with the tire rubber come off the hood. Ask me anything Good luck

I did it my first time for $225 ish. It gave me peace of mind out in the rain, but never since have I purchased insurance.
In general I would say, Insure that which you can not lose.

Something big came up and I had to go home and come back to work, mid day. Said I will return in 30 minutes.
I found that fewer cars are on the road while I work. I blazed home. Passing two cars on the way home, one let me by as I made my move, I had a near record time home. About 7 minutes. Found what I was looking for, briefly explained to the better half why I was home and off I went. I encountered impassable cars back to work, so my round trip time was 20 minutes. Not bad at all. When I returned so quickly, the person waiting said "You really do have a race car." It was great to get out, and get down with the Z.
