This past week end at the track, with stock pads, I experienced fade, but no lock at any time, front or rear.

vz, yes you are late and you're not saying anything thing that we don't already understand. This thread is well beyond what ABS is designed to do, thank you. If you'll read the thread I think you'll understand that.
Most of the people in this thread drive on the track and do these things on purpose and know how to control skids without ABS. You say that you track your car and had no lock up. I suspect conditions were dry for you. Did you trail brake late into a downhill corner? That's the condition where at least one is experiencing the condition. Most of us have not experienced it either, but apparently it happens in certain condition.
