I had brought the hawks just in case I needed to swap them out, but I ran all three days on the stock pads. I was still feeling out the tires in this session, the Camaro can run in the 2:10 range in ideal conditions and no traffic. Also, the PDR speedometer is 5.5% fast as the '18 wheel/tire combo is 5.5% smaller overall diameter. Quick reference: 140mph = 132mph, 100mph = 94.5mph. I'm running with TC/Stability off, rev match off. ...]

Awesome, and thank you for the details. Sticky-icky tires always make for a happy day at the track.
I'm kind of blown away you found the stock pads good, and better than DTC60's. I guess I'll keep mine on for my first track day next month as a baseline. I'm envious of you guys having year-round track seasons!
