Chris, Hawk makes several different brake compounds. Obviously in auto x your going to want a pad that works well initially and then you have the option of how strong you want the initial bite. IMO for road course you will want a pad that will operate at higher temps and obviously these pads will need a lap or two to get to optimum braking performance. I'm running a pad that most of you probably have never heard of and there are only 3 people Ive mentioned these pads to. At the same time I'm still running the Baer Track/Touring brake system which would be on the lower latter of the systems out there and have bad no complaints as long as they are bled before every event. Once again, all I'm trying to say is trying different pad compounds may sway you to stick with what you have but in addition I prefer power brakes
