Best brake rotors for track day?
I have been using AC Delco drilled and slotted rotors with Hawk Blue pads. First time out at Homestead after 200 miles the rotors cracked from the drilled holes all the way to the edge. Pitch out. Bought new set of the same. After 175 miles at Sebring same thing. Pitch out. Any advice out there as to a better rotor. Vette is a 2004 ZO6

Use the search function. Been discussed a 100+ times. Bottom line -- don't use cross-drilled rotors on the track, they crack. Use plain rotors or slotted rotors, but NOT drilled rotors.

pictures of too far gone?
Can anybody post a picture of a stock rotor that needs to be replaced?
I'm assuming the cracking gets near the outer edges and is quite noticable?
