Seth,
The absolutely best advice I can give right now to you, as a first timer on the track, is just run what you have. See where your actual skillset is. Some people don't cook their pads until a few events in. It's amazing how much you can actually push your car before you start to "need" things to improve the experience.
For now, just take the time to learn the most important things: the line, the flags, and the rules. It'll take you a while before you even master these things, so I wouldn't worry about your pads for now.![]()
Too late...

If you mean for brakes, do keep one thing in mind: If you ordered dedicated track-only pads that aren't for use on the street, you have to get them up to temperature before they will work.
If you got something that's both street and track friendly, then just swap in and go! Might as well use 'em now that you already ordered... I assume this is what you meant by "too late".
Yup. Doing the math is 16. Going to do my OFHG soon.

Yeah never felt the need for ultra expensive stands for any reason.
As long as they're reliable when locked up, that's all that's needed. I have 2 ACDelcos and 2 Craftsmans
