I like to really brake late and have past many cars from time made in the braking zone. HPS faded in two laps for me.


The first time you did a track event?


Yes, cooked the HPS in two laps. My instructor asked why I was exiting already LOL took the turn 5 run off at Road America. Slowed enough to make the tire chicane. I've seen people go realllly slow their first times so you could do that if you wanted to. After finding how much use the pad would take then I had to coast, reduce top speed, brake way earlier, all things I hate and are no fun to me. Well a little fun to learn the limit of the pad. It's pretty shocking your first time to go for the brakes and the car isn't slowing down. So I recomend track pads!

I hope your auto trans doesn't over heat.
