It's more a between flush LD - I usually run the superblue on street - then flush it out with the Motul 600 for the track

If you didn't already know this, IIRC the Suby FSM bleeding procedure is different from this standard old school method.

but.....why? the motul is fine on the street and you are wasting a lot of time and money doing two flushes EVERY time you go to the track

For the Suby's.....

passenger front
driver rear
driver front
passenger rear

I didn't know this either the first time I did my wagon but honestly didn't tell a difference the 2nd time following the FSM order.....

sound slike subies use a criss cross pattern for running the lines instead of the traditional way

Not sure, maybe so....... this way if you lost one line you would still have one functional brake on each side of the car?

I don't understand your comment. When I go to the track I'll flush anyway, always do. May as well go from blue to motul rbf600. Then I can make sure I get a complete flush.

okay here is what is happening

1. go to track and fill system with motul
2. go to street and drain motul and fill with superblue
3. go to track and drain superblue and fill with motul

what you should do
1. go to track and fill system with motul
2. when the brakes start to feel spongy, bleed the system replacing with motul as neccessary.

I don't think you can criticize him for doing that. If he doesn't care about the cost, which is negligible to somebody making decent money, or the PITA and the time, then he's ahead of the curve with fresh brake fluid all the time. A broke sumbitch like me would go bankrupt like that, and I'm also lazy so I'd get sick of bleeding every time I turned around, but if it works for him, then great.
