My example, I have an 09 M3 that has seen several track events per year for it's entire life. I just replaced most all of my front end suspension at 110,000 miles, just like you as preventative maintenance. However, my parts all looked good, no worn our bushings, nothing sloppy or loose, the only exception was my aftermarket camber plates were making some noise, but still functioned okay. My justification was that aluminum can fatigue when subjected to repeated high loads so it might be reasonable to consider some sort or routine replacement, however, I haven't seen any postings of track cars having tension arm or other parts failures (unless it was used as a tie down location for towing).
I'd say either inspect it yourself or have it inspected and if it's all okay, then you have lots more miles to travel before you replace anything.

Did you notice any difference in feel at all after you did that replacement?
