Yea, but much cheaper than replacing the front end, air bags or your life.
Guys look, yes, you can drive this course with your stock brakes but are they going to last all day if you are hard on them? Probably not. We are talking about 20+ minutes of hard driving, slowing down, hard, from 100+ mph over and over and over. If you have never experienced your pads overheating how will you know when it happens? Track Pads are called that for a reason, they are designed to be used on the track. Hell, it is cheap insurance to prevent a catastrophic incident on track. If you get out there and are not that hard on your brakes well then you can use them on another track day.
Do you really want to worry about your brakes? Sure, they may be fine in the morning but what about in the afternoon after repeated stops? You wear a helmet for "just in case" situations, why not use Track Pads for the same reason?
Do yourselves and those around you a favor, if you are going on a track, use track pads. I sure do not want to be on track with you if you aren't.
