There are people that need to use for various reasons stock brakes (eg. class requirements or street legality for dual-used car in some countries). Dust boots are there mostly to keep road salt out & maybe some extra dirt/sand/dust, no? And in winter there are way less load/temps on brakes. Seeing no relation of using or not track pads when, well, tracking, and street pads elsewhere, related to if calipers have or haven't dustboots. One just needs to understand, that proper braking on track (even if with stock pads, that may underperform in several areas on track) most probably will burn off those dustboots. Though it seems beneficial to replace burnt off dustboots in autumn, when summer tarmac tracking season ends. They don't cost exorbitant sums (eg. SU00304523 + SU00304098)
