They won't mess up the wheels providing you don't let the dust get hot and wet. But this is the same with all performance brake pads - just clean the wheels as soon as possible. If you can, apply a good coat of wax polish and some wheel protection stuff. If budget/time allows, have them ceramic coated for ultimate protection .

If they have instructors there, don't be afraid to use them. If it is your first time at the track, do a few laps by yourself first to get familiar with the layout and once you know which way you're next going to be turning, get an instructor on board to show you the lines .

If it is a twisty circuit, don't be worried about a bit of power steering fluid in evidence seeping from the reservoir cap - it gets hot and can boil, which means you get a bit of leakage (especially if you have just topped it right up) and that is normal.

Just pray for good weather, as that will make it less nerve wracking and all the more enjoyable (unless they allow drifting ) .
