Brake rotor warping

[George Beston <gbeston@domain.elided>]

If anyone out there wants to warp their  rotors, I know just how to do 
it to the front rotors on my Alfetta.  Flog it for all it's worth on a 
short road course for maybe 5 or 10 laps, get the brakes smelling very 
hot, and then just park it with no cool down whatsoever.  Leave it 
parked  for an hour, then go back out on the track  and it will feel 
like it has square wheels when you use the brakes.  The culprit in this 
circumstance is probably uneven cooling, specifically, the rotors will 
cool much slower where they are in contact with the pads. Works for me 
every time I forget that cool down drive around the paddock or parking 
lot.  I hope that vented rotors aren't quite so sensitive!
