I DD my 1LE and track several times a month....I am probably one of the only ones here who has an original clutch that has lasted this long (1300 laps and 23k miles) ( and notice I am NOT talking about the brakes). I completely flush the $$$ Castrol SRF every time I go. Please take my advice, because if you don't, you will be replacing your clutch system very soon. GM's piss poor slave design introduces clutch dust to the fluid system each time you shift. It will completely contaminate the fluid and you ARE GOING to have a failure. My method is to pump the clutch 25 times in a row, then take a mitevac and suck all of the fluid out of the master (you will see how contaminated it is), then flush the brakes, then do the 25 pumps again and repeat until there is no more contamination. It is expensive, but way cheaper than a clutch or the collateral damage that may occur from a failure.... You are not fast enough to worry about the brakes yet, so don't, after you have boiled the fluid, come back and we will talk about the brakes...
