Do you have an adequate amount of pad left? Say at least 1/2? If so, they you will probably be ok. Just be sure you flush your brake fluid and inspect your pads throughout the weekend.

Yeah they are pretty fresh. More than 1/2".

Brake fluid was changed about 2 weeks ago - my rotors are 2 years old. Stainless steel brake lines also on the car.

Just in case, bring a newish set of cheap stock pads with you as well. Don't ask me how I know to do this.

You're probably going to fade them, and you might well go through a lot of pad

I don't think of VIR Full as being very destructive on brakes - the only track I didn't waste a set of pads with the CL-S. If you have sufficient amount of pad and the rotors haven't been turned I'd think you'll be ok. As stated above, bring a set of OE pads with you if you can in the event you do take 'em down too far otherwise just keep an eye on them as Jon said.

Just my opinion of-course.

VIR full is pretty easy on brakes.. but bring some cheap *** pads just in case.. You should be ok though...

What they said. Go to Advance and get some $10 Wearevers. It's insurance like bringing your raincoat so it won't rain. As soon as you roll up to the track without any spares, you'll be ridding home on Sunday on backing plates.
