st60 rotor wear

Here is a picture of my current rotor condition. From what I have read here once the cracks reach the edge of the rotor it’s time to replace them. I have a two day track event coming up. Do you think these rotors have enough life in them to get through two more days?

Do your finger nails catch any of the cracks? They look like mostly surface cracks to me

I can feel them but can’t jam a nail into the crack

That's a coin toss.

Also why I keep a spare set of rotors.

This is a good rule of thumb how to inspect rotors for replacement.
