Bleeding the clutch after track days
Is it a necessity to bleed the clutch after heavy track or auto cross days, with fresh clutch fluid?

i've heard of doing this to brakes before track days to get the most out of the fluid-...
clutch though??? i would kinda eyeball it to see if it turned colors signifying that it has boiled and drain/bleed as you need (heh rhymes).
maybe someone w/ actual track knowledge should shed some light on this.

Usually you have to bleed the clutch beacause o fhte extreme amounts of heat, can cause the brake fluid to boil and become less effecient.
