John, thanks for the link to corner carvers. Nice forum. Do you know why it's closed?

That banking reminds me of the "Monza Wall" that was built at Meadowdale Raceway, in Carpentersville, Il! It's mainenance was also the tracks downfall.... It closed in the late 1960's.

 

Wow, I feel better tht I'm not alone. Because I cooked my rear brakes at Summit Point Raceway too.

 

Ditto on the rear brake cook job. I did mine at VIR this last April. For the fall events, I'm working on some ducting (my own design,) have Panther+ pads en route, and hope to have SS lines installed.

 

Ditto on the rear brake cook job. I did however have SS lines and was running fresh Motul 600 fluid. I also had just installed new StopTech rotors which I also did a nice job on.

The front brakes held up just fine with the Hawk HPS+ pads, although I plan on finding a better compound for the front as well.

Does anyone know which of the Carbotech compounds are available for the non-Brembo rears?

 

I think Carbotech was discontinuing any production on high-performance pads for the non-Brembos since the brakes are simply too small, fail to disemminate any heat, and melt any pad compound imaginable.

 

No, they aren't discontinuing them. I just ordered a couple more sets of Panther+s, which arrived yesterday. They tend to go off after about 20 minutes of hard braking on a tight course. Since none of my runs on these types of courses is much longer than 20 minutes, a little fade is a good safety measure (reality/testosterone check) for me.

Matt told me then that they would build to other compounds, but warn strongly of hardware failure, since the more aggressive compounds would run all day and not fade - but the rest of the system would probably melt down.
