I found with the higher speeds at Shannonville and my better rubber that the pads just were not able to keep up. They kept me on the track, relatively, but they were gone to the backing plate. These were the only two events they saw.

I like Hp+'s especially for the price, but I wish for something more durable.

Hope those "OFFS" were not to serious, I have mowed the lawn at Dunnville but it was more driver fade than brake fade.

I'll be in touch.
I am not too sure how many laps as I was giggling to much to pay attention ... about 10 I would say ...I was running on 235-40-17 Toyo RA1's for reference

The Off's were rough ...lots of rocks, gravel and weeds. ..

Ist one was not to bad ...just kind of ran out of track

2nd one was a bit ugly ... No pedal pressure and slid off a med sweeper a bit sideways ... I ripped the right front fender liner right out

The 3rd one finished the day for me ... I lost it on exit from Curve Grande - back end stepped out at arround 140 km/h (87MPH), caught it, and it then it tank slapped me and I spun it huge into the weeds at the pit entry ... broke the bead on RF tire (filled it with gravel) ... put some small rock dents into the door and fender, and gained a Check engine light

So it was a good day ...hey I was chasing Porshe's and passing most of them
