Can I use these rotors for one more weekend?
Can I use these rotors for one more weekend?
These are OEM rotors with 4 driving schools on them with Pagid yellows - I think I can get one last weekend out of them but just wanted a couple opinions. My next weekend it at MidOhio on 4th of July weekend.
Good to confirm I can get one more weekend! What exactly seems odd in the wear pattern? I do go back and forth between street pads (OEM) and the track pads (Pagid yellow).
Edit: If it were me, I'd buy a set of rears and take them with me to the track. It takes only a few minutes to change them, and the time is coming soon anyway. Could save your weekend if the cracks start getting more noticeable.
ymmv, but I'd change them. Unless the track you're running at doesn't require you to brake from 160 to 40 a bunch. And Mid Ohio does. My reasoning is that the second pic makes me think that some of those cracks are close to mating with adjacent holes. And that's what you can see. That said, I'm cautious with my brakes and you'll probably be ok. I'd check after every run group closely. Racing a light momentum car as opposed to our fat-assed cars, I'm passing more cars under braking and want the optimum set-up. Just my 2 cents.

I'm no track pro or anything, so take that for what it's worth. That being said, you're going to have to replace them anyway, why not have the piece of mind of knowing that they're not going to disintegrate and send you into another car or wall and suffer a large amount of damage or worse. My thought is if it's bad enough for you to ask the question, then just replace them. If you do try to get another weekend on them, good luck and as others have said, be sure to check them after EVERY run group to see if the cracks start linking the cross-drilling.
