2. Lap the track in this manner until you
start smelling the brakes. Continue for
another ½ lap at speed, then do a two lap
cool down with minimal brake applies.
Make sure the brakes are not smoking. If
they are, do another cool down lap.
3. Do not continue for more than one full
burnishing lap after you start smelling the
brakes. Do not get them smoking heavily.
This will get them too hot and affect their
life negatively in future track use.
4. Allow vehicle to sit and cool in the pad-
dock for at least 30 min. If an infrared
thermal gun is available, allow rotors to
cool to 200°F (93.3°C) before going back
out.
5. There should be a thin, ash layer when
inspecting the pads installed in the cali-
per. Having the ash layer go more than
half the thickness of the pad material
indicates too aggressive of a burnish.
6. Sometimes, a second burnish session is
required. If the pads start smelling in the
next track session, reduce speed and
braking decel to burnish targets and fol-
low step 2-4.
7. New pads installed on old rotors still need
to be burnished. New rotors installed with
old pads should be burnished at the track
or street driven for 300 city miles to
develop an adequate lining transfer layer
on the rotor surface prior to track use.
8. Rotors that pulsate during track use
should be replaced. Resurfacing of the
rotors is not recommended, as it removes
mass from the rotor, reducing its thermal
capacity. Resurfacing also thins the rotor
cheek, making it less robust and increas-
ing the likelihood of pulsation in further
track use.
SPEED CONTROL
When engaged, the Speed Control takes over
accelerator operations at speeds greater than
25 mph (40 km/h).
The Speed Control buttons are located on the
right side of the steering wheel.
Speed Control Switches
1 — Push CANC/Cancel
2 — Push SET (+)/Accel
3 — Push RES/Resume
4 — Push On/Off
5 — Push SET (-)/Decel
