Recently I was able to go to an all day track event near me learning how to drive on a track and then spending the afternoon with teachers helping me learn and damn was it fun! I was defiantly nervous with my brakes as I've heard that from other posts the stock PP Brembo brakes show fade at temp, and while I don't believe I noticed much I did notice a decent difference in pedal feel from before and after the track day. I'm wanting to do it again, but looking for some advice from those that have done track days. Do you believe I'd be okay getting another track day (15-20 min lapping sessions) with 3-4 intervals and about 20 min cool down between each session still utilizing the stock PP brakes? Or should I spend the money and upgrade to track focused pads, and if so will the rotors be okay with me switching out the pads for track day, then back for daily?
The track has a good amount of braking on it, Pacific Raceways in Kent Washington. At this point track days will probably only be 2-3 times per year, so while down the road I might upgrade rotors and pads I don't know I'm ready to go that far now though again looking for advice on what others have seen work well.
Thanks everyone, this is something I've been looking forward to doing with my Mustang and it handled wonderful, I know this will only be the start on upgrades!
