I waited about an hour, and they worked fine again after they cooled.

The pads didn't fade (Cobalt GT Sports), the brakes just go too hot. Remember I was running continuosly for abit 40 minutes, and they just got too hot after a while. Gingerman a little hard on the brakes anyway.

gingerman is too short of a course for the brakes to cool. Running at sebring put almost no wear on my tires/brakes, because they cooled to a good temp so quick. at g-man, the brakes got warm the 2nd time i was there, but moreso, the tires were overheated.
