Mine does lol.
1. Service
2. Have my alloys welded due to cracks.
3. Tracking/camber Adjusted
4. Adjust Suspension Height
5. Sort my spare wheel out.
6. Possibly a new tyre or 2.
Probably some more too.
Thanks

Brake disks
Brake pads
Brake fluid
Bedding in and make sure the car actually brakes
Oil and filter change
Wash and wax
Make sure nothing is going to fall off
Check all nuts and bolts on suspension, rollbars, drop links & brakes
Trackday insurance (not taking any chances with this car)
Maybe a Geometry check if I get time
Bit of a smaller list than this time last year which included an engine build

Fit new rear diffuser
Bleed brakes after changing all bleed nipples
Quick wipe over chassis with some WD40 followed by maybe a quick bodywork clean
Load onto trailer
Oh and fit hans posts onto new helmet if it arrives
Other than that it's check all wheels/tyres are at right pressure and good to go.

i wish it was that simple in the radical. Most advise a FULL nut & bolt check after each outing. Allowing a full day for it all. thankfully i have had 90% of mine apart over the last few weeks so can hopefully say that has been done. 
reminds me, must get the fuel sorted this weekend, its great doing guess work without a fuel guage.

. Double check ride height tomorrow. Finally raised it back up, 20mm lower than OEM height, where as before it was just above the rubber.
. 2 alloys to be welded hopefully tomorrow and tuesday.
. Tyre on Wednesday.
. 4 wheel alignment on Thursday.
That's my plan, getting there though, getting ready for this track day and the track day has cost me a fair £££, around £500 in total lol.
Thanks
