Did my Rotors Warp?
Okay, heres the story.. I was Racing a Trans Am, and I hit about 90.. the road is kinda closed off into a narrow pass over a bridge and I was slowing down, all of a sudden my back end gets kinda loose... **** they'res a bunch of Rocks and Dust on the left lane from the construction, so I pushed alittle harder now after letting off quickly because I wasn't going to be able to slow down fast enough for the narrow pass into the bridge! So my Car decides to Go left then slam itself right into a 360 spin at say 40-50mph!!! and then I stop about half a foot from the curb.. cause of those damn pebbles... New Breaks are in the "Mod List". But Do you think I warped them? I just read about a guy warping his Breaks instantly from high speed breaking on the High Way but he was going ~140mph... I only noticed alittle tighter Grip on the breaks, and some Squeeking, but Hawk Pads are suppose to be alittle noisy..

I don't think your brakes are warped. My brother managed to warp the rotors in the V6 camaro, normally applying the brakes on it felt like the brakes were being tapped every other second, it was quite annoying to drive.
I raced a Trans Am and was doing 120mph(this was at a track of course) when I had to stop all of sudden for a traffic light. (Yes, that's right, there was a traffic light in the middle of the track). I could smell my brakes but my rotors are fine.
BTW, made three runs and won three

probably fine..
sounds like while you were intially braking hard with all your weight being trasfered forward, something upset the rear.. be it the road or driver.. then you made matters worse by giving jerky inputs that further upset the car (plus the road conditions) causing it to go into a 360..
if you're going to race on the streets, at least don't do it near construction...
