Smell the brake fluid, see if it has a "burnt" odor. Same goes for the tranny fluid. But since ya don't have a dip stick, that may be a little tricky.
A lot of times cars that have been run hard and put away wet (so to speak) like the track cars were, get their brakes pretty hot. This in turn "cooks" the brake fluid, but the fluid seldom gets changed.
