I too am quite interested in how the 1144's do at Road Atlanta. I've run stock and KVR's in my last 3 track sessions - very disappointed in the KVR's, so much so that I swapped them out for the stocks at my last weekend. Porterfield and Carbotech also make race pads that are generally well respected - one was reasonable $$ (in the range of 100) and other was pricy (in the range of 200) but I can't recall which was which. Also, one of them doesn't list the Contour as an application though if you contact them directly they do (just haven't put them on their web site) - again I can't recall which one of the two that was.
