    I can't see me making this one at this point. Something could change but it's MSRH! I know Michael loves this track but.......

    Don't we only have two weeks between Houston and TWS? I would hate to miss TWS ( the last time we get to race there ha ha wink wink) because I went to MSRH.

    Correction - you just need enough tire and brakes to get to the nearest rental car location. Where you can complain about the crappy tires and brakes and get an upgraded ride for the trip back to Dallas.

    Camaro, Mustang, doesn't matter to me, I'll race it.

    Careful with those tires, I did tail of the dragon, once in each direction, and it smoked the rental car tires, not sure they will handle a full trackday, I guess you could overinflate the hell out of them to help.

    Good idea on inflation pressures...

    Contact adds a whole new fiscal dimension :-)
    Turn the stability control completely off, not just traction control. With the car running in park, foot on the brake, hold the traction control button 30 seconds until you get "accutrack off" message (Mustang). If you don't do this, the rear brakes will melt trying to keep the car from rotating. Brakes are the issue, tires not so much, one day and the stock pads will be gone. Without negative camber you will trash good tires on the fronts if you are thinking of that. FWIW they usually have V8's available at the airport only, but the X code cars are an extra $20 a day.
