My process for bedding track pads on an empty backroad. This is assuming a properly functioning brake system, recently bled with good fluid/lines, etc.

Accelerate to 70-75 -> 10. REPEATEDLY. Back to back to back to back........however many times it takes for the brakes to STINK and the pedal to start going soft.

Gingerly drive home touching the brakes as little as possible, let cool to ambient.

Done.
