Dumb question, is it OK to drive to the track with the tire pressure at 24-25 lbs? Or do you have to lower it at the track then boost it back up to 30 lbs. before you drive it back home? Also should we stick with 30 in the fronts?

I prefer to adjust tire pressure while I'm at the track but you are fine to drive with the lower pressure if you want. will just heat up the tires on the way there. Just don't try to corner like a maniac

. I would put 32 in the front, but it don't matter as much.
