If you stand on the brakes from a 140mph braking down to 40mph the surface of your brake pads could easily hit 1200 degrees, and then quickly drop. The HP+ pads just aren't cut out for that, you need a high temp track pad. Next time you take the wheels off you might want to check the pads and make sure there aren't any cracks from heat fatigue.
Great write up BTW, you would of seriously kicked arse in stock class.
