Keep cooking brake fluid, any help? + roll bar question

Do your brakes look like this after your sessions??
Then yeah - you have crummy pads. That happened to me at the end of my second session at the Glen, at my very first track day in '08. I went over to a full race pad after that - Hawk DTC70's up front, and stockers out back. Never had a problem again. Oh yeah, I use Super Blue fluid...

We sell the pre bedded pads too. We have found the best rotor is a stock type replacement rotor with no drilling or slots. It last the longest and isn't too expensive at 66.89 each. You can check them out here http://www.sneed4speed.com/products/...ake-rotor.html

Two or Three track weekends from the DTC-70's. The HP+ in the rear last 10 to 12 track weekends.

To sum it all up.
1) Use track worthy pads.
2) Use fresh "high temp" fluid (Ate or Motul, etc.).
3) Remove dust shields behind rotors for a bit more cooling.
4) SS braided lines for added safety and better pedal feel.
5) Add brake cooling ducts (as you already have).
6) Run pads that have at least half thickness or more left on them. This tends to insulate the calipers from heat generated.
7) If you still experience heat related issues, consider a big brake kit. The larger disc will allow for an increased "heat sink" to help dissipate heat.
