Default Hot Spots on Rotors ?

I noticed the other day that my front rotors(Powerslots w/ceramic pads) have some hot spots (shiny areas) on them. They are performing fine and are not warped. Is it anything to worry about? I did a performance driving school back in the spring and I'm guessing that's the cause since I was really abusing the brakes. BTW, this brake combo performed wonderfully on the track.

no there is nothing to worry about. once you start seeing heat spots (blackish purpleish) you might want to get your rotors turned. what you are refering to is called glazing. a little here or there is nothing to worry about

+1 for not worrying about it...i blued mine one night with the stock rotors that had about 80k miles on them and a cheap set of wagners or something that the previous owner put on...brakes still worked the same as always, but i changed to HPS pads and brand new stock rotors just in case
