Yup, that doesn't surprise me. Try tracking the car. Before each track day, you need to do an inspection, and your breaks need to be at least 50%, or you need a brake job. Now *thats* an expensive hobby.
When I went to a PDC track day, my brakes were at 25%, so I essentially had to 'waste' 25% and get a full brake job if i wanted to go. That was painful.
