1. Anchors away!
I'm running this pad at the racetrack and it has been excellent. These pads have a very progressive feel; not a lot of initial bite in my experience, but put the squeeze to the lever and they have no problem slowing you down in a hurry. The progressive feel makes trail braking very smooth.
I'm on my second season with these pads now as well (7 weekends per year), and the pads still look good. I have no doubt they'll last the remainder of the season. I may try the GPFA next though to see what some additional initial bite feels like.
