Trackday Brakepads
This weekend will be my first time at a "big" track. Previously I've ridden smaller, technical tracks. I'm going to Summit Main and I expect to hit at least 5th gear flatout on the straight going into T-1. I've always ridden on Street pads. I expect to bring along with me a set of race pads I bought (u guessed it...eBay).
Should I switch to these pads just for that cirucuit or should I stick with a known quantity? Anyone use these so-called "Race" pads before? (I didn't look before I leaped) Should I junk them (I paid less than $15 for them)?

RE: Trackday Brakepads
My pads had plenty of life left. I usually go through about 2 sets per year (I change when the feel gets weird). They worked great on the Main Circuit andcould stop HARD enough to scare the bejeez out of me. And Yes, I did get flatout 5th gear down the straight (but I'm still a wuss).
I need a LOT of trackwork, I sucked big time this weekend.
