Many track pads are likely to wear your rotors significantly. Some people keep a second set of rotors for track use.
OK, thanks for the information. The carbotech web site was pretty hot and heavy about how one *had* to turn the rotors before putting on a new compound. Perhaps that's true for competition, but not for an HPDE. I'm looking forward to having the time/cash/skills when having a spare set of rotors makes sense.
