Mike, do the braking zones at your most frequented tracks have bumps or anything that would unsettle the rear? Also, do you tend to brake straight line only or use trail braking at all?
I don't think that most braking zones at my tracks (VIR, Barber, Road Atl, Little talladega) have many bumps. Maybe at Roebling, but I've only been there the one weekend and don't think it did at all.

I do 90% of my braking in a straight line, stabbing the brakes hard and then trailing off into the turn. I used to street brake, but Sharif and Bryan Settle cured me of that. I actually think that I am only able to keep up with faster cars because I brake much later and make up lots of time there.

Cossie,
On the C6, I had a widebody conversion and ran Z06 brakes for 2/3rds of the time I owned it. On both the Z51 and Z06 calipers, I ran hawk HP+ pads, but until my last year in the C6, I was only doing 2 track days per year and not at the level I am now. 3 years ago, my last year in the C6, I started doing two per month for 6 months a year. The only brake issue I ever had on the Z06 is when ALSM driver Shields Bergstrom took me out for a session at VIR driving my car and he boiled the fluid, but had no ice or fade issues either.
