What about installing them a week ahead of time? I'm reluctant to do the install Saturday for a Sunday track day given it's my first time swapping the pads. If I run into an issue, I won't be able to fix it before the following day.
You can chew up the rotors if too long on track pads. A week is about the max I would push. If you can, try to swing a mid-week install. Plus if it rains when on cold track pads....braking distances can be seriously changed.

Normally, I would do the previous day install with a few days of post running.
