Brake fade is no joke, but there are ways around it too. Upgrading from DOT 3 to DOT 4 fluid is a great place to start if you don't have that already. It is also possible to duct your brakes to cool from the backside. This is probably not an issue for most people on most drives, but I'm sure certain vehicles on certain roads may need a little help with brake cooling.
