I'm surprised you made it more than a few laps. Stock pads (or any street pads really), have no place on the track, and quite honestly, are dangerous.

A decent driver can fade those stock pads in a matter of a few turns, especially in a car this heavy.

Your brother in law could have been running much slower than you, and/or using much less of his brakes.

At a minimum when you go to the track, you'll want track appropriate pads and fresh fluid (or track-appropriate fluid with both high wet and high dry boiling points).
