There are some very skilled road/track racers on here. I am probably not one of them, but here goes anyhow:
First congrats, and welcome to the addiction or rabbit hole. LOL

Only 10 turns in 10 miles? That sounds very different... shucks most tracks I've seen have more turns than that in less than 2 miles.

I assume you are new to tracking? If so, I think best advise I could provide is first, leave any ego at the house that day - go to be safe, learn, and have fun. Next, If you don't have an instructor, I'd recommend getting one, if allowed. You'll learn a lot more, and faster and maybe not the hard way, with one. And finally, given your not an NA car or a 1LE (?), you might want watch those temps. But you should be ok. Relax and have fun, safely. The car, even the standard SS with stock power/suspension is well designed and built, and thus very capable.

if you're doing to do multiple sets, or days, I'd recommend actually measuring pad thickness. You might consider replacing them if they are at about 1/2 original thickness. It's not hard or expensive on the brembo brakes.

Be safe, have fun, and keep it on the black stuff! :-)

Edit PS - Change the brake fluid, no matter what. Even if you think it looks clean. And when doing so, use a DOT 4. As Christian1LE pointed out... If you find yourself doing more of these, you can worry about which DOT 4 later.
