,,,,,,well that answered my question, I'm not going with slot or drilled rotors. I've installed the brake cooling duct work and that "helped", but I STILL can't run 10 laps at 100% speed without brake failure.

Short track, lots of twistys. The pedal is still hard and firm (like me) but as the links above stated, there is no "friction" left due to heat.

I'll change the pad material to higher temp unit and try that next.

Most interesting comment I've heard on the track (from a guy driving a Turbo Porsche chasing me):

"I was right on your butt the whole time but couldn't get around you. I was waiting like a buzzard for your brakes to die."

They did! He won! I'm bummed!
