Realistically though, if you're running in a novice or intermediate run group it's highly unlikely that you can even attain the speeds required to nuke the OEM ceramic piston pucks and bake the caliper finish. I wouldn't sweat it unless you're *REALLY* hammering them.

I am in the novice group and I would have a agreed, but I had serious brake fade last track session and it took about two slow laps with little to no braking to get them back. That made me think that I had gotten them really hot. I am pretty sure it wasn't the fluid because I had flushed them the week before with ATE Typ 200.
Anyways, thanks for all of the help guys. I really appreciate the advice and I will look into getting some track pads for my next event.
