A funny thing happened to my brakes at the race track

Conclusion, the Baers just heat up and drag, then they heat more and drag more until they are almost completely locked up and even after unscrewing the bleeder screw and removing the brake line days later they still are locked up.
In one day it will wipe out a set of pads and rotors, in 2 days the calipers are burnt to a crisp. Yet somehow its the cars fault?

Doesn't seem to be a problem with the Brembos....

Then I replaced them with a used set of Brembo club racing brakes and suddenly the brakes have never worked better and after a very hard run at Laguna Seca posting my personal best lap ever ...

Well, come on. You can't leave us hanging in the dark here! What was it?

Just a follow up.
It has now been two full track days and the pads on my Brembos still look new, and they already had 3 track days on them when I got 'em!

Compare that to 2 track days on the Baer Brakes and everything went into the trash including calipers.

Lesson learned.

You must have realized using the brakes will slow you down. Wide open and hang on! You know I'm just kidding, you need them brakes to get off of the track...

No you don't. If you don't use the brakes you're guaranteed to go off the track.

All these track days and I have yet to dip a tire off the track....I must be doing something wrong.

How much particulate must be airborn to constitute "off the track"?

Enough for me to notice it.
Hanging one over the berm doesn't count if it doesn't kick up dust or the wheel remains airborne and doesn't actually touch.

Fabman, Do your best and hope the rest don't get in your way!
