Track pad wear: when to change?

So, is this when you change pads before the event or just go there and see how longs they last?

looks like more than half the pad material to me....

You should be fine. Stock miata brakes wear on a taper and that much showing would mean there's nothing on the inside. You have wilwoods though, yes?

Yes, Wilwood from FM. Tapen on OEM should be inside more pad than outside, if I think how the forces of that caliper work, no?

I will just run it like this. There is a service truck that will help me swap pads if I need to I just figured.

This Sunday and Monday, it's going down: full day training day at the Nürburgring:

i've seen new pads turn into flat steel plates in one track day. good idea to always carry spares.

No more wear inside than outside with OEM calipers. Two things though,

#1 a day on the ring: put brand new pads on.

#2 a day on the ring: you spoiled brat.
