I took my car instead of my brother's blue one. No issues aside from needing to change tires. I used these rear tires at prior HPDEs so they had some wear to begin with. I ended up stealing my brother's rear wheels and finishing his tires off as well

My first time up at BIR I actually didn't use the brakes enough to experience fade...I drive like an old lady. That will probably change at some point this Summer, though.

They probably won't actually inspect your fluid, but it is always best to make sure it is fresh. I bought some of the super blue from MAP and put that in before I went. Still managed to experience brake fade if I was heavy on the brakes for multiple laps.
Not sure what you have done to your brakes, but mine at still 100% stock on my car. I will probably try to upgrade them before the next track day I attend. My car has only 14k on it so there is still some life in the pads/rotors. Would probably benefit greatly from some better ones though.
