Only two days so far. No deterioration at all yet. I had a 50th Anniversary with standard brakes before this car. I only got one track day in it, but my pedal softened up a great deal during that one day. Comparing to that, I think the PCCB's are pretty remarkable. The firmness of the pedal and bite is amazing, and I love how they get better as they warm.

I was at Lime Rock yesterday as well, the GT Silver car. Saw you on the track a few times but never got over to introduce myself. Hope to see you back there at another event.
I also run PCCBs and I have had 8 tracks days on them so far - the dealer checked them with the electronic tester after 6 events (four days at Sebring with some major braking zones and 2 at Lime Rock) and they showed almost no wear. You cannot see the wear or measure it with a micrometer. The pads measured 10.5 mm (new is 12 mm as I recall). I can provide the tech sheets on how to measure the PCCBs if anyone is interested.

The last two days at LRP were run by CVR PCA and it was a muffled event. The sound limit is 88db but CVR is allowed a bit higher. You will not have any problem with street cars pass a sound check.

Good to see you on here. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet yesterday. I was admiring your car. You put race seats in correct? Or am I thinking of another car?

It is rare that a stock car gets black flagged for sound at LRP. If you worried have a set of turn downs made. I never had my cup black flagged with and without turn downs. Its that sound is more of a problem in the spring when it's less humid and there is no foliage on the trees. But I'm not a sound expert . I've been driving LRP for 20+ years and the stock street cars are very rarely black flagged.
