For me, being my local track is Mid-O. I don't trust stock pads down the back straight. I was hitting 135 on a cold day, and can easily get to 140-145. Getting on the brakes at the 500 board and trying to trust stock pads...it can't happen for me.

YMMV
Thanks for the heads up on stock brake pads. Do you have a recommendation for aftermarket pads?
