Depend on the track condition u racing on.If it dusty i would say definitely yes.Normally i always pull out the engine every time after practice/race to clean/inspect the clutch/clutch bearings.If its getting too dry just put a drop of bearings oil.If u have a doubt just change them as they are pretty cheap to replace.Clean the shocks boot as there always some oil and dirt in it and they will eat the tini coating on your shocks shafts.Inspect all the screws they are all tight and just a general cleaning.I will strip my car all together after second race day and give it a good clean.Dont use any oil/grease on all moving parts as they will attract dirt.Run it just dry an u will amaze how long all the parts will last.
