Default is it normal?

after im kinda hard on the brakes is it normal for them to smoke?

ive only seen my car do it twice after hard braking i would park the car and see smoke pouring from the holes in between the steelies?

no, not smoke when its parked, not that i've seen, and i dont think you brake as hard as the guys at the track. maybe its just crappy pads, or at worst youre getting some shock or brake fluid spraying on the hot surfaces.

I've had my brakes smoke after coming off the track.
In my defense (or rather the car's) Chad did pass a new M3 and a C5 Vette at Gingerman in my ITR.
Smoke was pouring out from my FL wheel ...

You shouldn't park it right away after doing that to the car!
