Minimum of once a day when on track? Sorry, but that is just overkill unless it is very hot out and you are running solid rotors. Maybe you need brake ducts?
I take care of 6 rental race cars, and a handfull of customer cars. I've tuned/prepped cars that currently hold D/E/F Production track records at Seattle, Portland, and Thunder hill. Yes I have brake ducts....

I always bleed the brakes before a race session. or and important qual. Its worth .02 to .03 of a second per lap with a good driver.

I rented a Flir camera last year so I could check brake temps on the moving cars, was interesting to see who's brakes were working and who's werent.

If your car works and your happy then we are all happy!
Because my car will be in front of yours
