be mindful of your brake pads. they don't necessarily wear evenly, side versus side, inside versus outside, and leading edge versus trailing edge. give them a good inspection after each day. have an extra set available for replacement (obviously).
check the torque on the wheel bolts a couple of times each day. i slightly loosen each bolt and then re-torque them each time. 78 lbs will do.
be prepared to monitor your tire pressures closely. i tend to monkey with them after the first couple of sessions each day.
if you've removed the abs camber shims, take a close look at the abs wire harness. make sure it's still attached securely to whatever you've tied it to.
take off the undertray and check the clearance on the oil line that passes by the serpentine belt. it's being held away from the belt by a plastic clip in a "pull" arrangement that is subject to fail. i've been meaning to tie-wrap that sucker to the clip.
overall, i usually spend about an hour or so going over the car before each event. if it's a two-day, then i re-check a few things and then go pass out.
