My 3 year old and I watch this show every day.

At first I thought that this was a really good idea, but then I wondered if there really was an advantage... If the current brake caliper technology can lock up the tires even on the stickiest of rubber in race conditions, what would MORE pad surface do? I suppose it would allow for more heat dissapation in the caliper itself (similar to increasing rotor mass, you increase caliper mass), but is this really an issue? Would the problem of unsprung weight increase offset the advantage?
