I'd say it's worthwhile to use a higher boiling point fluid such as Motul in any track event that you will be putting a lot of repetitive high demand on your braking system. Using high performance dedicated pads for track use only is also a good move.

If you disconnected the line to a caliper, I would strongly suggest bleeding the fluid at that caliper if you didn't already to that when reconnecting. But if you did bleed it, you wouldn't be asking about fluid! Any air bubbles in the line could come back to cause big problems during spirited driving or on the track. We don't want to see your brakes going soft on one corner of the car when you really need them! Air bubbles are compressible and brake fluid isn't. Get rid of the bubbles!

flush it all out, just don't mix fluids, contaminating it will cause problems. it doesn't hurt to run DOT4 on the street even though it's factory filled with DOT3. if you are going to track the car you will need the higher boiling point of DOT4. Hps pads work great in mixed use, street and light track.
