DO NOT use the Blues on the street, they are extremely abrasive and will destroy your rotors very quickly and quickly means a few hundred km. They need to be bedded in and run at a high temp and that is a temp you won't get on the street and depending on you skill level and tires you may not even get that temp on the track.
I use HP+ and have never had an issue with fade even when running 30 minutes straight, granted I have a 13" brakes. HP+ should be just fine for your use but mnake sure you bed them in.

Yes all day.
They have one on Sept 28 which starts at 12 because it's a Sunday and they have noise regulations despite the fact the drag strip can run all day with no restrictions, silly municipal govs.

I would still get a set of Hawk blues if i were you. You can throw them on the night before and bed them in while driving to the track or you can put them on at the track and drive easy for a few laps.
The HP+ are decent pads but are pretty much a set above stock pads. As a former prelude owner, i know that the brakes on that car aren't the greatest. Get the blues. You just have to be careful to clean off your wheels afterwards as the dust can get embedded into your rims.
