In my class of racing we are restricted to solid (non-ventilated) discs, not cross drilled or slotted. Because the budget is very limited I have been using standard street pads and at Lakeside Raceway I've had no major problems with fade, also I get a year out of a set of pads and several years out of a disc. Qld Raceway however is a completely different story, with standard pads, I'm up for AT LEAST one pad change PER MEETING! Even a set of metal pads will not last a whole meeting and I get brake fade after 3 laps! We're now working on cooling ducts and hopefully they'll help, because the rules won't allow us to do anything else. Another thing about standard street pads is that you don't have to warm them up, they work best when they're stone cold.
