My DTC-60s can do 5-8 track days depending on the tracks Im doing before they get too thin for my liking, then I keep them as "spare" pads. I just did another 2 days on a "spare" set before they got to the metal backing plate, so to be safe I'd say 6-9 track days, averaging 2 hours of track each day, + a couple of months of daily.

I wouldnt recommend hybrid pads (DTC-30 or Street/Race for example), because while they might work, they last a lot less than race pads when used on track.
Do they squeal like crazy? I have friends on that type of caliber of pad, Endless ME22/20 and the ME20s squeal like crazy on the street basically no matter how much brakes have been applied. I can handle minor squeal at low to medium brake pressure like the HC800s on the street.
