Default WHo is running parts store pads on the rear of your HPDE/track car?

I put a BBK on the front and will test it this weekend. I am taking some stock pads with me and my try them.

Anyone done this on a track?

Autocross does not apply, I reach 140mph at NOLA and brake to 70 for turn 1.

Curious to hear how your experience is if you give them a shot.

I just bolted up the same BBK to my car, I'm running HPS in the rear because I had a free set laying around. Unfortunately I just got the car running again so I have no data. It will be interesting to compare notes with you once I get the car on track.

Wilwood 140-7190 is the kit#

I left the ST-43 on the rear so I can have a fair comparison between the BBK and the C6 conversion that was on the car as the pads front and rear are identical as what they were with the C6 stuff on front.

I may try the parts store pads on Sunday.

Are there any issues with swapping back and forth from track pads to simple street pads on the same rotors?

Just curious if it's OK to burnish a track pad properly and then slap on a new street pad and vice versa. Maybe I'm completely over-thinking this.
