1. Don't forget to pump the brakes in your garage after you change the pads.

2. Don't try to get that last session out of brake pads.

3. Don't leave that spare part you never use at home.

4. Don't pack bug and tar remover in the same box as your helmet.

5. One thing I do is my own tech before the tech. If you wait until the tech to find something wrong...its too late. Need to show up to the tech with stuff in top shape.

6. Do an after event tech.

Install fresh pads, top off brake fluid. Never top off unless you replace the pads. When you bleed, return the fluid to the same level.

That's a no-no with the S54 and S65. You're oil temps will skyrocket at the track. Keep the oil level just right.
