Are my Rotors Toast?
Only been about 1.5 years and maybe 10 track days using Stoptech SR32 and SR34 pads.
I always do a cool down when I can and then drop around the paddock for 4-5 min.

I can't catch a nail but seem some going from hole to hole.
No vibration or issues at all but don't look great. .

Agreed. Slotted next time.
How do you know when slotted rotors are done? .

Same rules as any other rotor. Large cracks you can catch your nail on, or cracks that extend all the way to the inner or outer edges. Cracks coming off the slots are less of an issue but shouldn't be completely ignored.

I have no concerns about street driving but track driving using track pads...

Have I not taught you guys anything? When in doubt, float test those rotors!
Hint: they are done -- the crack coming off the holes is the red flag.
