If you can be easy on your brakes (for track conditions), a 500E does really well IMHO-well balanced, powerful, and with great brakes. However, clearly it's one heckuva heavy ride, and while the brakes are more than adequate for the street they have a tough time hauling down a 2-ton projectile repeatedly.

I've done 30 minute sessions, and when braking conservatively they held up fine.

So get out there!
