Default New pads how to bed in at track??

Ok.... so i have a set of napa rotors on the Z with GM pads that have about 3/4 left good enough for my march 3rd VIR event... but to be safe I bought another set of pads and threw in the track box.... then it dawned on me ... If i have to put the pads in at the track how do you complete the bedding in while at the track? I dont think you can do it before ya leave... so how are most getting around this?

just stuff em in there!!! the first run they might be a bit wishy washy and may vibrate but the next run they should be fine. some times i pre bed them but i dont notice much of a difference just blead before you go out. and again before you go out for a second run..: some times i run a few slow laps in the middle of the first run to let them cool a bit..

Paul

I use Pulley Town road. between Mitchell Mill and Fowlers road. Along the Cattle farm. No driveways, and you can see 1/2 mile

It is about a mile from my house, 4 miles from your place.

at the track Just stuff them in there, take a slight drive down the entry road and hit the brakes hard. Just dont go to fast there
