In my limited track experience, which consists of eight 15-20 minute sessions at a couple of the Summit Point circuits, our stock brakes are just fine. Toward the end of a couple of the sessions you could kinda feel the pedal getting a little mushy at the end of a straight, for lack of a better word. But I never felt they were going to not stop me. All I have is stainless steel brake lines and better fluid. However, this is just one amateur's observation.
