Just keep in mind the responsibility of overriding the sensors. I have the sensors in Sydney zip tied out of the way, but that's because I'm in there often swapping street pads with street / track pads. I've left the sensors in place on Punkin because I don't look at her pads unless I have the wheels off for some reason. Obviously you don't want to go past the wear zone warning depth. With power comes great responsibility.
I have been to Hastings a time or two, but haven't visited the Kool-Aid Museum. You should see if your relatives can take you to Tessman's for a tour. We hold our Club Race at MPH. The track was resurfaced during the off season and lap times are now 4 sec faster. Unfortunately, our race / DE was 2 wks after I got Sydney back and she had nowhere near the break-in miles needed to participate. But I volunteered to be the pace car for our parade laps. Let's just say they were rather sporty, esp Fri. I toned it down a bit on Sat but got yelled at by our race director. He was right, but it was worth it.
