Default C7 Z06 Rotor Replacement

I have run my 2015 Z06 Corvette stock iron rotors for 6 track events and they are starting to crack somewhat. There are a couple of cracks that my index nail will catch in but they are not that long. I was going to change out rotors but wanted to make sure they are at the point to do so. See attached photos. Appreciate your insight!

I think you need to have a certain minimum number of posts (like 10 or something) before you can post pictures. Based on description though I bet those rotors have quite a bit of life in them. Based on my experience and talking with others they pretty much stress crack right away on track but it takes quite a while for the cracks to grow to the edge of the rotor (which is when you really need to replace them).

There are lots of photo's on this forum with c7 rotors, I posted some myself. You can probably do a search and compare these photos to your rotors and get a good idea about how long they will last.
