Brake pads still good?
I've used these pads for two days on the track, they worked just fine. These are Pagid Orange pads for my Stop-Tech brakes. I pulled them for an inspection and they have about 3/4 of pad material left, but the surfaces don't look too great. They have areas where the face of the pad is missing about 1-3mm of material. Are these still good for use on the track?

I wouldn't use them. It appears you have overheated the bonding material. It will do nothing but chunk next time you get them real hot. At least that has been my experience. Do your rotors have the start of some grooves in them?
