Post HPDE Inspection. What to check?

So I searched a bit and can't find a list of things to check after you finish a HPDE.

Here is what I've learned so far (forums, talking to people at the track, etc):

Bleed brakes prior to or after every other event
Check lug nut torque after the event (due to heat expansion)
Check rotors after the event
Check pads after the event
Check fluids before and after the event
Check tire pressure before, during and after the event

What am I missing?

I like the jack up the car and shake the wheels to make sure there is no play.

Hey, thanks for the post rcheung! I'll keep that in mind.

Sure, it's Memorial Day weekend, but there has to be some other input. Anyone else?

You can find a bunch of checklists for what to look for before, during and after an event by searching for relevant terms e.g. race car or HPDE checklist, technical inspection, scrutineering etc. but here are a few for starters:

Ahh...

I didn't even think to try searching on the web, I had been only looking on EvoM.

Thanks all!
