welcome to the actual reason why cars are fun.

check your ego at the door. no matter what age, and what level of experience you think you have, you are there to learn. HDPE is practice. and you are there to learn everything you can. most often the issue i find with new HPDE students is that they dont know or think they are students. ego destroys more cars than anything else.

feel your brake petal, that is what will give out first. also if you have a way to check oil temp, thats a good call too. but by and large, unless you have a tune, or have modified your engine you should be ok with short sessions. 15-20 minutes. even modern turbo cars tend to be able to do survive that.
