A tranny and dif fluid change wouldn't hurt. Make sure all tie-rods and bushings are in good condition. Do a google search for HPDE/track day prep and you'll find lots of good guides, that what I did to get mine ready.

Good idea on the cooling system check. Not sure on the trans fluid flush yet. Many people seem to have transmission issues after doing the flush on the zf6
