Default Sparks from brakes??

I was autocrossing today, it ran a bit late into the day...on my last run I cross the finish line and I hear the announcer say something to the effect, "whoa, glowing rotors, we dont usually see that". I look back at the video my wife took and I see SPARKS coming from my front brakes under (very) heavy braking entering slalom section and again just past the finish line (hard to see on the vid).
Is this normal? Cause for concern? I didnt feel anything unusual, in fact the brakes felt pretty good! The pads are Colbalt GT-Sports.

Heres a vid:

Just looking from some feedback from you guys whether this is a problem or not.
Thanks!

Imagine my surprise when I opened up that video and I was like, "hey, that looks alot like turner field.... wait, it is!"

Is jetydosa j. b.?

And was that not a crazy course today? Did you see how many DNF's and +'s were in the timing and scoring!?
