Left Rear Brakes Hanging at COTA

Thanks for responding. I have never had my calipers rebuilt and have probably 15 race weekends over the past 2 years. COTA is also a brake intense track. At the suggestion of the guys at Carbotech, I went with the more aggressive pads. I’m not taking tire temps, but think I should start. The session where I spun was the first one of the morning after a few warm up laps. I had my wife in the car for that and was not driving near max effort. The outside temp was probably mid to high 50’s at the time and I had only ran 1 lap. Started tires at 30 psi all around. On the day before, after session pressures were getting up to 38/40. And interesting, there was lots of dust from the track grinding. The first day looked like we were running on a dirt track
