Oops, forgot to update the thread with the solution, sorry

Yes, very simple solution.......

I replaced the pads.
It turns out the "track" pads I had in must have been cooked. I put in a partially used set I had of street spares and the problem went away. I still can't believe that I cooked a set of EBC Reds that are basic track pads. I tend to be pretty hard on pads at the track, braking late and hard.

I changed to DTC-90's for the track and never had an issue again.

I use powerstop ceramics for the street and love them
