You should do a through the wheel inspection every session. You should have a wheels off inspection every track weekend and assess if the pads are going to be up to the task. Once the pads are 2/3rds worn they are no good for track days. I wouldn't recommend tracking on the stock pads anyway, they're not really up to the task. Get some Carbotech's XP10/XP8's and switch out before the track day.
