Road Racing is like Crack Options

[SCCA Stang]

If you do plan on taking a dsm.. Its paramount that you prep it for long dutycycles. Turn the boost down. Make the car last more than a single quarter mile, or a hard 5th gear pull.. I know it sounds like no fun, but beleive me, at the end of the day, you'll love the fact that your driving it back home.

or trailer it so that you can still get home if it does break

So what your saying is, leave it tuned for balls out power, just bring a trailor so you can tow it home... hmm...
Let me think..

You spends XXX dollars, just to go out and break it (if not retuned), but its ok, since you have a trailor...

What if it breaks in the first 5 minutes of the first 20 minute run (1st of 8 20minute runs), on a two day event?...

Oh yeah, thats right... Its all good because you can just trailor it back home.. That makes it all better....

I have a buddy whos car failed on the second run of the first day.. We worked on it for the next day and a half to make it drivable back home.. I think the pain of missing the opportunity to push the limits due to his inability to race on the track, far outweighed the anguish of having to fix it. Having a trailor would of made no difference, he still missed out on the next 120minutes of track time.

Dont think for a second that a trailor is the cure all for on the edge tuning in an endurance race. The whole point is to be there, do it and learn from it. You learn nothing by blowing an ic pipe/engine and trailering it back home.

my comment was meant to be taken very lightly... sorry that you felt that I was serious
