Track burnishing your brakes:
To avoid “green lining fade” during track use,
the brake pads and rotors must have a thermal
burnish for factory installed components or
when new brake friction components are in-
stalled:
1. Use one track session to burnish brakes by
driving at 75% speed. Brake at approxi-
mately 0.60-0.80g max without ABS inter-
vention.
2. Lap the track in this manner until you start
smelling the brakes. Continue for another ½
lap at speed, then do a two lap cool down
with minimal brake applies. Make sure the
brakes are not smoking. If they are, do
another cool down lap.
3. Do not continue for more than 1 full burnish-
ing lap after you start smelling the brakes.
Do not get them smoking heavily. This will
get them too hot and affect their life nega-
tively in future track use.
4. Allow vehicle to sit and cool in the paddock
for at least 30 min. If an infrared thermal gun
is available, allow rotors to cool to 200°F
before going back out.
5. There should be a thin, ash layer when
inspecting the pads installed in the caliper.
Having the ash layer go more than half the
thickness of the pad material indicates too
aggressive of a burnish.
6. Sometimes, a second burnish session is
required. If the pads start smelling in the next
track session, reduce speed and braking
decel to burnish targets and follow step 2-4.
7. New pads installed on old rotors still need to
be burnished. New rotors installed with old
pads should be burnished at the track or
street driven for 300 city miles to develop an
adequate lining transfer layer on the rotor
surface prior to track use.
8. Rotors that pulsate during track use should
be replaced. Resurfacing of the rotors is not
recommended, as it removes mass from the
rotor, reducing its thermal capacity. Resur-
facing also thins the rotor cheek, making it
less robust and increasing the likelihood of
pulsation in further track use.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY
SURFACES
Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or
other slippery surfaces may cause the driving
wheels to pull erratically to the right or left. This
phenomenon occurs when there is a difference
in the surface traction under the rear (driving)
wheels.
WARNING!
Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is
dangerous. Unequal traction can cause sud-
den pulling of the rear wheels. You could lose
control of the vehicle and possibly have a
collision. Accelerate slowly and carefully
whenever there is likely to be poor traction
(ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.).
