Yah, there is zero issue with driving to/fr the track with race pads. I drove my old car to ORP on Ferodo DS3000s.. and I will continue to drive with race pads to/fr the track. As little work as possible on the day of the event is always nice.
This also goes for Rcomps.. lol. I drove to ORP on my NT01s. Unless you are trying to win the HPDE championship, it won't matter too much IMHO. Hell, a friend of mine drove down to Packwood on his V710s.
