See Carroll Smith, "Prepare to Win", among others.

New brake pads exhibit "green fade" - fundamentally the outgassing
of various binder agents as they are heat cycled for the first 
few times. This is a small nuisance on the street, and a disaster
on track.

One can avoid this by pre-cooking the pads - either on a car or
in an oven. I put new pads in the toaster oven at 400 for a few
hours (outside) and then let it cool over night.
