I with Chuck on this and he did drive a light nimble Honda around the track. Also, with crossdrilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads. They are still on the car no cracks after two years.

Try cryogenic processing to decrease potential cracking. For track purposes I would go slotted only because eventually even cryoed rotors will crack it will just take 2-3 times longer. Slotted don't have that problem except powerslots with are a poor design.

For street use I would get OEM rotors some good pads and cryo them. Proven to last 200-300% longer. The Tampa fleet department is testing some SUB ZERO cryo-processed rotors now with great results. They are lasting longer and not near as much brake fade.
