Hi guys,

Just came back from the track and boiled my brakes over, so I know i need new fluid. Checked my rotors with some sun light on them and noticed there are marks all over my rotors like someone put a crayon against the rotors while they were spinning. It is on both front rotors ( with different patterns) while the rear rotors are fine. My question is, it looks like without taking the wheel off that there is still some pad left? I have another track day coming soon ( this saturday) and I know i wont be able to get new pads before that, will a simple fluid flush be enough to get me on the track as I definitely lost braking power, felt it on the drive home.

ps. dont know how to add a picture can someone inform me how, so i can make this threat usefull. thanks in advance!
