Dave:
I have been using DS-11 pads for the past nine years on my ' 67 Midget
vintage race car. Last winter I switched to Hawk Black compound. The
difference is truely unbelievable!  They work great when cold. I think the
Blues need a lot of heating up before they work. I got them along with some
great advice and tips from Winners Circle in Ohio. They recommended not
going to the Blues for a vintage car and also doing the fronts only and not
the rear shoes. Call Dave or Rob at (216)221-4666. I think their website is
www.spridget.com.
