Mine made it through 2 sessions, but I think I'm easy on brakes (or maybe drive like a wuss). Also, I think the pads and rotors were nearly new. The stock brakes are ok for track sessions, especially if the track doesn't have too many high speed sections. My first outing at Summit Point I started cooking the brakes the last session because I was building more speed and hitting the brakes really hard. Steve88SiS completely cooked his stock brakes that day. My plan was to get Porterfield R4S pads before my next outing, but resources prevented me. My stock brakes were fine at pocono, if you don't try to do top speed on the superspeedway section, you don't have to hammer the brakes too hard. I'm definitely replacing the pads before I go to summit point again.
