If you think you're going to do some more events, or are adamant that you'd feel more confident with a track type pad, then a good budget track option might be the Powerstop Track Day Spec. Make sure to get the "spec" (PSA-) and not the regular Track Day pads (PST-). I've run these for about 6 events and looks like I can squeeze out one more.
You're safe to run them on the street for the handful of days for the swap around the event, they do have less cold bite, but they still stop you. I mostly don't like them for the street because the dust is pretty intense. A little dusty and noisy, no big deal, but the dust can be very hard to get off your wheels if the dust gets wet later...not unlike concrete.
But they're a decent, budget friendly, track pad. They're something like $100-110 for front set and $90-100 for rear set.
Pros: good budget option, decent longevity
Cons: less cold bite, intense dust
Vehicle:
Toyota
I use powerstops. Think they are a good brand. Haven’t let me down.
Pros: haven't let me down
Power Stop stuff is amazing, I am super impressed with their pads material. Zero brake dust and stop on a dime.
Pros: zero brake dust, stop on a dime

Jeep Cherokee
I threw a set of these on my SRT a couple years ago and they’ve been great. Easy install, they’re quiet, grippy when you need it, and minimal to no brake dust.
Pros: easy install, quiet
Cons: minimal brake dust
I have a challanger with 6 piston brembos and I replaced the stock pads with power stop immediately. They are a lot less aggressive and less Dusty. In my opinion, Chrysler had no buiness putting aggressive track pads on these vehicles.
Pros: less aggressive, less dusty
Vehicle:
Dodge
Powerstops, they don't have the performance capablities of the OE pads (which are actually Ferodo 2500 compound), nor their semi-trackworthiness, but there is absolutely nothing you can do on street to exceed their capabilites. Plus, no nasty brake dust
Pros: no nasty brake dust, sufficient for street
Cons: lower track performance
Vehicle:
Chevrolet
Swapped powerstop pads on to the fronts. Stopped the squeal, improved braking and now I have absolutely zero brake dust that used to be horrible with the original pads. The pads weren’t expensive, definitely worth it.
Pros: stopped squeal, improved braking, zero brake dust
Vehicle:
Ford
Had TRW pads on the rear and they're dusty af! Replaced them a wk ago with POWER STOP CRK7176 from RockAuto and all is Gucci.
Pros: good performance
Cons: dusty
Part number: CRK7176
I feel Powerstop is more hype than “real”. Made in China.
Cons: more hype, made in China
Vehicle:
Toyota
