Hindsight is 20:20!!

Standing on the anchors with the engine at full thorttle will over heat the brakes. if the auto is locked and providing basically direct drive. For those with a race/rally background you'll know that if you use road brakes to their full capacity or even do some heavy leftfoot braking (see advanced rally technique, not to be confused with trail braking) you zone into brake fade very quickly (unless your car happens to be spec'd with ceramics!)car brakes are designed for the occasional emergency stop, they simply don't have the cooling or capacity for drawn out excersion. All the spiel about drilled/vented discs are more about removing heat after application, althpough they do have some, minor benefit during too.
