If it's dry just take an extra lap to get the tyres warm, no rush on a track day. When you're racing you only get a 5 or 6 lap race so you've no option other than to go for it straight away :-)
Another tip is to run you're tyres at their road PSi, more pressure = warmer tyre. On the track in warmer weather you tend to run lower PSi than road.
Nice! I have an '88 Hawk. Great little bike. Which tires do you prefer on it? I had the Sportec M3's and now Pilot Powers. Honestly, I liked the M3's more. These pilot powers wont allow you to lean it over as far as I like. Love cornering this little thing. :D Again, Nice job and bet you had a blast on the track!
Cheers, it did hold it's own quite well. The day inspired me to have a pop at racing bikes. I do miss the bros, for a 1989 bike it was way way ahead of it's time.

Wanted to ask you, how is different riding in track day with low weather temperature? how sticky tyres are if warmed up well ? thanks
