So this post is probably going to be a bit contentious, but I think it needs to be said. There are many brake pads on the market which their manufacturer’s say are capable of going on a race track, and they are very very much not, even on light vehicles like the Miata or BRZ/FRS/86. This post is my opinion, but it’s backed by my own personal experiences and my observations of others.
This is the first post in a new section being added to my website. Starting in late 2017, I finally got to a point in my life where I could go all-in on a long-time interest of mine: motorsports. On December 21st, 2017, I purchased new a 2017 Subaru BRZ Limited, and had it on a race track getting instruction before the paper plates were off. I haven’t slowed down much since, and now have a membership at Harris Hill Raceway in San Marcos, Texas, a local club track, where I try to visit at least twice a month.
