Message	surprised how easy it is to cook a set of street pads, even on a BBK while running a road course. Make sure you do a boost leak test before, check all fluids, etc. Don't try to be the fastest guy out there. Learn the course, get the assistance of an instructor and see if you can ride along with one to learn the lines. Most importantly, stay safe and have fun.
