So I have my original GM AC Delco Blank Smooth Rotors that have never been turned and are in good condition. There is no warping going on at all. I took them off the car at about 75,000. I still have the pads too which still look like they have about 65% pad life left. They were working fine when I took them off the car. I put on drilled and slotted for looks mostly. So Iam going to be taking the car to the NCM Track for their "touring laps" which everybody knows is like going all out still. I did it last year. Not much different then like an HPDE as far as speed and braking goes. SO my question is...
Can I throw on these rotors and get a set of track pads and would that be a good combination? I really don't want to spend a ton of money for a new set of rotors to be used 1 day at the track. Pads no biggie. What do you guys think? and I need recommendations for a good set of track pads that aren't super expensive. This is just for the front brakes since 70% of the braking is done with them anyways. My rears Iam not too worried about.

Thanks for recommendations!

I think stock rotors will do just fine if they are indeed thick enough.

If you're only going to be doing a single event and nothing more, Stoptech 309/Sport brake pads are cheap and effective. They will handle high heat and feel pretty good, but they will wear down quickly if used aggressively over time. For a single event, however, I think they'd be perfect.

Ok these?

For pads Carbotech XP8 $192.00

A high torque brake compound with a wide operating temperature range of 200°F-1250°F+ (93°C to 676°C+). Carbotech™ XP8™ is the first of our racing compounds. Good initial bite at race temperatures, high coefficient of friction, excellent modulation and release characteristics. Extremely high fade resistance and very rotor friendly. Perfect for track day use with any tire and can still be driven safely to and from the track. Carbotech™ does NOT recommended XP8™ as a daily driven street pad due to elevated levels of dust and noise. Carbotech™ XP8™ is a great compound on the front & rear of most open wheel and sports racers.

Rotors at 75k on them I would not risk it if they crack your screwed unless you plan on bringing the drilled and slotted rotors with you. Go get some NAPA blanks for 1 day.

Sport yes, street performance is old name. Amazon sells them too

Thanks but not wanting to drop $300 for 1 day of driving on the track. I might do the NAPA rotors and a set of the pads for 150. But Yeah those carbotechs are overkill for me for just 1 day.

So I just noticed that there might be an even new version of these pads...found the thead from last year on the forum. Rock Auto has them. They are called PST731 Track Pads.

Here is the review from the guy on the forum.
