That's kind of what I figured, all that heat and no way to dissipate it.blacksheep-1 said:IMO, heat soak, the same thing got Roush in trouble a few years ago, came into the pits after running it hard, went out and nailed the wall.

I did notice that my pressure bleeder doesn't work on this car.
I used to have a cool vacuum bleeder that worked killer back in the day. I wonder if that would work here?

Well, I certainly won't do THAT again.....but a red flag is a red flag. You stop.VoodooBOSS said:Wow that is one expensive red flag for you. This is a good reminder to take the "cool down" lap seriously.
no but I've seen them in some passenger cars. Where do you get them?TMSBOSS said:Were you running titanium shims between the pads and Pistons?
The 1mm shims I run helps keep the heat away from the caliper seals, brake fluid and dust covers.
Fabman said:Well, first the bad news:
Everything is melted and cracked. Pads, rotors and calipers. Doubt I'll save much besides the rims and tires.
Now for the good news.....oh wait, there isn't any good news :'(
14" Baer 6 piston Pro + and DTC 60 pads. I am surprised how quickly they melted, the other 2 cars stopped in the same place as I did and I assume their brakes didn't melt? Sure I have more MPH and I'm heavier so of course it's harder on brakes, but that just means that just tells me I'm too close to the failure threshold and they aren't up to the task.ArizonaBOSS said:Damn!
What setup were you running? If you weren't yet on Brembos, you should be able to find an upgrade setup fairly inexpensively from OEM stock, Wilwood, StopTech, or Brembo Race, depending on how much money you want to spend.
This may be an issue....I will be on the phone with Baer today.Mad Hatter said:Could it be a issue with the Baer brakes?? I was looking at a set a while back but was advised that they are more of a street setup?

Could have been worse, I could have run into the back of your new car!mprichar87 said:Damn, that blows dude. Glad you figured it out and it didn't end up worse during the rest of your track time this weekend.
+1 for titanium shims, I have them on my Boss and also got them from Girodisc (KNS was out of stock when I ordered them). I haven't had install issues with pad thickness running Pagid RST2 front pads.
