Took a pretty cool video with the GoPro

I went out on an empty backroad to bed in the Performance Friction 01 compound race pads onto the Performance Friction 2 piece rotors. Decided to hook up the GoPro to see how good I was heating up the rotors and pads... I'd say I got them up to temp!!

Heres a video of me running that PFC equipment at Daytona with SCCA during their PDX event:

GetBlown2k3,

Thanks for posting that. I always wondered how it looked while doing this. Just a few nights ago I had to season the rotors & bed the pads on my 2002 M5. StopTech said to do 10 consecutive 60-15mph stops (with moderate - about 80% braking pressure) & then 10 more after the cool down. I'm super glad you posted this & it give me a good idea of how that rotor stores all that thermal energy.

It also "beded" in the fact that I must get a Go-Pro camera someday soon... ! LOL ;-)

First congratulations on winning the brakes! And thanks especially for the second vid. I really enjoyed the ride. Did it start to rain towards the end?
