There are other regular maintenance-type things. For example, you might tear a CV boot or something. But, chances are, that was going to happen anyway. Normal wear and tear type things happen one way or the other. Track-specific that's basically it though. It's pretty safe driving the car to/from the track. I've been doing just that for two summers now. The way I'm driving on (and sometimes over) that edge is getting to be stupid for me. Fortunately most tracks are at least *SOMEWHAT* close and I would be able to work something out if need-be. Personally, I'd go and check out an event or two as a spectator just so you know how everything works. You'll know all about the flags and basically how the day flows before you even get there for your first track event
