Going to give these a whirl once my APR track compound pads are done in another event or so. Current BBK pads have a MOT of 1475 deg F, these are slightly lower at 1400 but I'm sure they will be fine. I'm getting some heat temp paint to check my rotors next event and see how close I am/if I need a higher MOT pad but I've never had an issue at VIR at least slowing from 135+mph. I've actually just left the track pads on this year since an even back in June...they are dusty but I just clean my wheels regularly...a little noise as you come to a stop but the cold bite is just fine for street use.
These RP-1s are nice w/stainless backing plates. I run their BluestuffNDX out back on my tiny 272x10mm solid rotor rear brakes, they have worked without issue. Before those I was just running Yellowstuff. Not many track-orientated choices for these rear brakes. These are $200 which is v. economical for a track pad, my APRs are astronomically expensive hence why I'm not getting them again...I actually really like them. Also would like to try Carbotech/G-Loc 10s (or maybe even 12s...need to see what temps I'm getting).
I am doing an event at 1-day Dominion in a few weeks then another 1-day event at Summit Point in Sept then 2x 2-day events at VIR at the end of the year....will need new tires as well by then.
