I gotta go with Phi on this one, after running a set of take offs on the street, I wouldnt recommend it. They dont heat up, and with this cooler weather, you apply the brakes even a tad harder than a slow stop and may have to deal with skid city (been there, done that). A hard brake will leave with consequences you dont want to even think about! Now a set of PP's that was run on the track only is a different matter, thats what I used on the Indy trip and they worked great. 2k miles and I saw little wear, still good for many more miles!
