Stuart,
They look Ok to me but would prefer to see them than looking at photos. Does the pad colour change looking side on to the pad, i.e. change in colour from the face on the rotor to the material closer to the backing pad? Also be worth measuring the rotors to see how much they have taken off them. The DT70 pads were cruel to street rotors. I would go through a set of standard rotors for every two to three sets of pads, but the rotors were cheaper than the pads so no biggie for me.
Would also be worth emailing the tech help line at Hawk send them the photos and some side on photos to see what they say. At least they don't seem to be glazing up.....
Hillclimb would have to be one the hardest disciplines of motorsport, more so when you use a ZG fairlane..... But one of the most rewarding.
My engine builder set FTD at the event on the weekend as well, so hopefully he will be in a good mood preparing my bill......

Good news and the work on dodgy day did not let you down I have to get out there sometime this year.

Photos by Ian Colley now online here - http://www.iancolleyphotography.com.au/f867537046
Going to have to name my first one "Apex?, what corner???" [the Beetle took it a bit further]
Then overcompensated and was way too tight on the return around the hairpin.
I think photos 264 to 268 was my scary moment coming out of Lovers Leap.
Doesn't look too dramatic in pictures and I'm surprised at the minimal amount of wheel movement but it felt very different.
Turbo, race seats/harness/hans, suspension, wing and splitter all now on order for next Dodgy Day Lite anyone have access to Brave Pills?
