Ok, so if all goes well I'll have my car on track next month at VIR. I'm gonna be installing a Porsche Brake setup and maybe fabbing up some brake ducts. My question is, since my car has around 83k miles on it, should I go ahead and replace the hubs while I'm at it? My car will be mostly street, but I hope to start tracking the car more frequently. I want to make sure everything is in order (and safe) before it sees the abuse of some track events. Thanks in advance!

I'd certainly check the free play in them. To do this jack the car up and push on the top of the front tire and pull on the bottom, then wiggle back and forth. If you feel any free play, replace your hubs.
