Ditto. Look for a DOT4 fluid with the highest wet boiling point, which is Valvoline where I shop. Brake fluid will absorb moisture in a street driven car, because you're going to leave it in for two years. On the track, look for the highest dry boiling point, since you're going to change it between each event.

Valvoline's "synthetic" name is pure marketing.
