I drive to and from my local track (Summit Point, WV), which is 45 miles each way more times in a year than I can count. I also drive to Watkins Glen and VIR, they are approx. 250 miles each way - all on RE-71s. No problems! You will certainly not generate enough heat in the tires driving to and from the track as well for it to be a concern.

The Total Toe in the front and rear is what wears the tires (ie on the insides) the most when street driving. In turn, you wear the outsides of the tires the most when on the track. You will barley wear the tires driving to and from the track. The biggest risk is getting a flat or hitting potholes and knocking the alignment off. Pack a tire plug kit!
