They will be fine. As long as they don't boil the fluid, which i doubt you will be able to do on a busy track day in 15 mins

They will be fine, getting grooved discs is sometimes false economy over standard ones. The reason being when a solid disc is more sturdy and quality controlled whereas grooved/drilled discs can tend to made more cheaply. I had a set of black diamond discs when I was running 3 stud with my ZX stuff and I managed to warp the discs in less than 15 mins pretty much new with pads that week. Whereas I can belt round all day long on a standard set for hours not realy noticing the difference and not have the steering wheel renching itself out of my hand when I brake on the way home either lol. Better pads are worth the money though
