Just swapped brake pads and tires back to the street setup.

The Hawk HP+ pads look fine after the weekend. Wear is still awesome, after three full days on the track I would say there is still 80-90% left. There are no apparent signs of overheating. Everything looks to be in good shape.

I durometer tested the NT05 tires when they were brand new, and again just now when I took them off the car after two hard days at the track. Seems as though on average, they got a tiny bit softer after some good heat cycling on the track! The left front remained the same before & after, but this is also the tire that gets the most abuse at Willow Springs so my guess is that the tires get a bit softer with a few heat cycles then start to get harder. This seems to be a very consistent tire though as after two hard days on a really hot track, they are still a bit softer than brand new! I will have to start over when I switch to 18s, but I plan on keeping the next set of tires for a lot longer and will monitor their status more in depth.
