In your case, let's say a set of front or rear pads cost about $250 per axle. So let's say your front pads last 2 weekends and the rears last the entire 12 events. Your per event pad cost is almost $150/weekend. With that many pads, you'll easily need a new set of friction rings - $500/pr. So your brake costs are almost $200 per weekend.

A rear BBK can save you almost $150 per weekend or $1800/yr. The rear BBK may pay for itself in 2 years. OH...ST friction rings are cheaper than OEM rotors.
Do you work in sales? lol, cause I'm buying. Seriously though, if I can convince the Mrs on $5k now instead of $2.5K now and $2.5k later I would do it in a heart beat
