Perhaps the best advice has already been said which is take it easy, no reason to tear up your car on a track day. Since it is your first time other than some tape to protect it you probably don't need to do anything. After the day you will have a sense of what if anything is needed. Of course you can flush the brake fluid but I would do this after rather than before, you may want to take a look at the pads when you are done also. Finally if you decide to do track days regularly you can consider some DOT approved track tires, there are several out there that much softer than regular tires, they are great for a track day and you can put them on at home and drive to the track have fun and drive home or take the set with you. The biggest performance improvement you can make to any car is the become a better driver so try and find an expert to ride with you and do some coaching for the first few laps.

Have fun
