I don't know how you were able to get that much life out of the stock pads. Once I picked up speed I went through a brand new set in only a day. I think you pads disappearing so fast now may be a side effect of you picking up speed and braking more aggressively. No street pad will last more than a day or two on a track event w/o slowing down. Even the Ferodo 2500's won't last too long for serious track use. Like yandy said, if you going to be tracking, get some dedicated track pads.
