I have a home office and only drive my car when I have to because I want to 'conserve' it for track days. I change my fluids before I hit the track and make sure to check everything before heading onto the track. I also check everything after every track session.
I learned to do this the hard way by losing an oil cap on track and it created all sorts of problems. I had oil everywhere, messed up spark plugs and a ruined alternator.

Moral of the story: make sure you check EVERYTHING before heading onto the track.
