I came back from the track with MORE tire?

I have a 2 hour drive home from Sebring. I did my first track day in the FR-S on the stock everything. I noticed some vibration on the drive home. Now I see what it was. I had picked up all kinds of rubber from the track. I came back with more than I arrived with I think...

The car did great, and I had no issues except when I first got on track I was braking too early and too long so I had some slight fade into turn 10 once. My instructor told me to be more confident with braking and try to wait longer before hitting them - but really hit them when it's time. This should build less heat. That worked. for the rest of the day, I had no issues with my brakes. Having said that, I think I was only at about 75-80% of what the car could do so that might be why too. Taking it easy to start with...
