Yeah, I don't think running a pad backwards is that uncommon. The driver (who's quite a competitive racer by the way) did not feel the brakes were terrible in that configuration either, nor was he much slower than his normal pace. When it comes down to it, one of the pads being backwards on one rotor would decrease brake torque on that one wheel maybe what 20%? In the grand scheme of things, an under inflated tire or loose wheel bolts or the like can be a bigger cause for concern, and more common IMO.
