Guidelines For Race Track Use Of Your SRT
WARNING!
Always drive carefully within your capabilities.
Never drive in a reckless or dangerous manner,

others. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can
prevent accidents.

ing track use, any damage or wear associated with track

6. Sometimes, a second burnish session is required. If thebrake pads start smelling in the next track session,
reduce speed and braking deceleration to burnish
targets and follow steps 2 through 4.
7. New brake pads installed on old rotors still need to be burnished. New rotors installed with old pads should
be burnished at the track, or street driven for 300 city
miles, to develop an adequate lining transfer layer on
the rotor surface prior to track use.
8. Rotors that pulsate during track use should be re- placed. Resurfacing of the rotors is not recommended,
as it removes mass from the rotor, reducing its thermal
capacity. Resurfacing also thins the rotor cheek, mak-
ing it less robust and increasing the likelihood of
pulsation in further track use.SRT PERFORMANCE PAGES
