Your numbers look like they are in the ballpark. AX and track days are very different animals. AX puts very little wear on tires and brakes as they don't get that hot and you only run about 5-10 miles. Track days/DEs shred a lot of rubber and brake pads due to continuous lapping and you might do 120 miles per day.

Get on some cheap sticky tires and cut your tire budget in half. (listed previously)

Pagid Orange are a good dual purpose pad. Performance friction and Raybestos offer track pads that last forever and never fade. I am not a fan of swapping out different pads for track events. The tires you choose will determine how much pad you need.

Get the 997 GT3 brake ducts to improve cooling.

Get a good helmet and BK roll bar to protect yourself.
