I didn't realize track people WEREN'T giving a quick bleed/top-up at every event?

I know tons of people with everything from Terminator's (03-04 Cobra) to Miata's, E90 M3s that track on ATE (including myself) with a much lower boiling point than the RBF stuff (think 536 dry).

If you're boiling 600° degree fluid on street tires with proper pads, you're on the brakes too softly for too long (by doing this you give the brakes less time to cool down between applications, so while you're putting the same thermal energy into them, they end up with less time to shed that heat) vs proper threshold braking.

Or you're a semi-pro on a track that destroys brakes.
