Oh yeah, I had my car shipped to a private air strip. I then did a few 130-40 to bed in my XP10. I chickened out on the XP8 and didn't quite get up to speed for a full bleed, I ended up not having my brakes in my first session at the track. Plus I got some deposits on the rotors as a result.

A former race car driver told me that bedding in pads is super important. If you screw it up, the pads are basically junked. You just need to get the pad to bond perfectly at the first heat cycle. The whole rotor/pad mating thing is secondary
