Why are my brakes cooked?

Help!

My front brakes seemed to be chattering a bit so before I take them to Laguna Seca this weekend I decided to have my mechanic check them. They said they had been badly overheated and that the calipers needed to be rebuilt. I trust these guys and no reason not to believe them. I have all of 4 track days in this car. My last track event was at Thunderhill in November. I never felt any brake fade, I don't think I was particularly hard on the brakes, I am certainly not the fastest or more aggressive driver out there. I am very careful on the cooldown lap and do a couple of laps around the paddock after every session before parking. So... what gives? Is it my driving style? Braking style? Z4MC, ATE Blue brake fluid, fresh before the last event. ... the only mods are a cup holder and stubby antenna!
