Tell me about Thunderhill and Your Brakes

So I'm cooking my brakes. For the last couple of track days, I've reached the point where the brakes will become hot enough where I cannot get ABS to engage coming down into turns 10, 14, and 1. My fluid is 2 months old and now discolored, and my rotors were turning blue after hot sessions. The last couple laps of the session result in me having to extend my braking distances 15-20% to account for the fade.

I have the following:


Stock Calipers
Stock Rotors
Hawk HPS pads
Stainless Lines
Hankook V12 255/17
Wedsport TC105n 17x9
Torque RT700 Fluid

I run a 2:15 pace with the cyclone. When you are driving Thunderhill what is your approximate time, what is your setup, and what is your fade like? Trying to avoid getting a BBK for the 3 - 4 days per year at the track and looking for alternative solutions.
