Default Can you overheat brake pads so bad that they never come back?

(Copied from my NASIOC post, which is being really slow)

Can you overheat brake pads so bad that they never come back?

I mean, it has been a couple of weeks since my last set of track days I drove the car for the first time today. I went to slow down for a turn and the brakes barely slowed down the car. In fact the slowed the car so little that I missed the turn. Luckly I could keep going straight and there wasn't a problem.

They are in-between pads, EBC Redstuff Ceramic. They have gone through three track days, one autoX and about 2000 street miles. They are soso when absolutly cold, but they should have been a little warm by this point. Before I came to the turn i had four or five slow-to-medium stops before it, they should have been plenty warm.

Ideas? I guess they could be cold, but it shouldn't have been that bad.

Did you bleed your brakes after the event? If not, you're fluid's probably done for. Doing a complete bleed should at least help.
