just start off braking early and slowly braking deeper into the higher speed corners till you find brake limit, can drive even on stock pads if you adjsut when you start your braking for each corner

'open' track day-
i think you can get on and off all day long, so
maybe one hot lap and one cool-down
you could cool down the brake system at your discretion

anyone have a tire pyrometer?
that would help a lot to set the camber/tire pressures

After you cook them, just have them powder coated if you want them to look good again. I know that you like to drive, so get out and do it!!
