Brakes on Fire!

I was wondering why there was a trail of smoke behind my friend's car after a hard right turn. I believe it's the brake dust catching on fire.
Brakes are the Wilwood BBK F/R for the FR-S BRZ that included BP-10 pads (street/track). This was his first time on the track with these brakes and they performed great all day. (Quote-"Felt like my eyeballs were popping out of the sockets") I have the same setup on mine (but in black) and already had >4 hours of autocross/track time on the brakes. The fronts were a little over 1/2 worn and the rears were barely worn at all. To prepare for the next track day, I just swapped the pads Front/Rear since wilwood uses the same size pad F/R- definitely a plus!
