Temps during heavy braking on street and track?

I'm wondering if any of you guys have used a pyrometer to measure the temps of the brake pads/rotors just to see how "hot" it gets on the street versus the track.
I'm just going to include all types of track activity...to simplify things. And all types of street activity, such as stop & go traffic. Actual temp numbers would be great.

Especially from those of you who braked hard/long enough to boil the brake fluid. I'm highly interested to know what the temps are.

I assume you're talking about people who bleed their brakes and run high temp fluid.

Because old (wet) fluid boiling points might be about useless as a data point.
