It sounds stupid to do, but you really should do it right to get maximum life out of the pads. It would also help eliminate pad deposits. If you don't do it right, you will notice how fast you will lose your brake pedal on your first session at the track. After it cools down, your brakes will feel 10x better for the second session.
Only issue with this is unless you rented the track for yourself you aren't going to be able to find a way to do 100-0 safely in the paddock or on track. (and you shouldn't stop completely on smoking hot brakes)
