Bedding HP+ pads...define race speed. Just put on some new HP+ pads, box says brake 6-8 times from medium speed then 6-8 times from race speed....I'm guessing medium is ~60 and race is ~100? Gonna be tough to do around here if those are the speeds...Am I right on my speed assumptions?

I found a stretch of divided hiway with cross-overs about 1/4 mile apart. Safe and legal.
I began doing "laps" accelerating to about 50 and down to 10 or so and then ratcheting it up to hiway speeds till I began smelling them.
The actual number isn't as important as just getting a solid heat cycle on the pads and rotors and let them cool off.
