I was wrong when I said TR has a ton of Hawk pads in stock for me. The only pads they have in stock that would work are the Hawk HP Plus and Dean said those were roughly equal to the R4S's. Do you disagree with that?

Edit: BTW, I've run R4S's at RFR before and they didn't fade until several laps of me really pushing hard, toward the end of a 20 min. session. I'm hoping that by removing the dust shields and doing the CT with the shorter straights, I won't see anny fade at all. I understand that the pads may wear from their current 75% to 25% or maybe completely out, but that's a risk I'll just have to take. Again, I've used them before on the old track (before the technical part was available) and they worked. Please don't think I'm arguing with any of you, just clarifying.
