Default Burnt brake rotor disks????....

OK... here's the story... driving about 125/130 last night i had to brake rather abruptly as to not miss my turn... first i noticed that when braking it seemed as if the brakes werent braking smoothly but almost skipping?? Sort of hard to explain but it wasn't a nice feeling... Anyways... Washing my car today i noticed on each of the disks/rotors that there were like burn marks on all the disk/rotor things in about five spots in a uniform circle... looked as if someone got a lighter and made burn marks in a circle... so i'm assuming its from braking from 130 down to about 0??? is this normal??? or just due to cheap audi materials not meant for my driving... lol.
thanks...

Default yea, sounds like high-speed ABS, and where those marks are...

is where the caliper was closing on the rotor(and by doing 130-0 you generate a hella-lotta heat)
