Soot on Rear bumper

I seem to get alot of soot on my rear bumper. When I wipe my finger in it appears white on my finger like ash. Car is 05 6spd with 12k miles and gets run hard. The car performs great I am just tired of wiping off my bumper every time I drive it. Any ideas?

Try Premixing. After a few miles no more soot on your bumper or aound your tail-pipes.

Are you sure it's not brake dust? Stock pads make black dust but who knows with aftermarket?
