You're absolutely right. I didn't mean an all out racing pad for DD. But if you have to pick one pad for both track and DD, I would pick one that leans more towards track use. Your tolerances are a lot tighter at the track when pushing the car, and I'd rather not put my car into the wall because of brake fade. It is a balance that each individual has to consider based on their ability at the track and the amount of track time vs street time.
