East coast, west coast, track, autox, concrete, asphalt, summer, winter, slicks, snows, summer tires. I am sure the events I attended in the Z is no less than you. Given you are so fast, perhaps you can figure out why ice mode is still there.

I don't have plugged intakes, does the stock one count? My car is so modded that I don't have a working 2nd gear on track anymore.
Sorry maybe I wasn't clear. MARTIN had the plugged intakes, first time out, stock Z (back in the day) with your experience you should be in the LOW 40's if not 30's with all your mods, if done correctly. Is that an old time?

Only time we get ice mode down here in SoCal is when we knowingly run old fluid, beat pads, and go in too hot. You're likely overheating whatever pads you're using or the "surface" you're on has inherent traction challenges- what is the ambient temp? Do you have vented brakes? How thick are the pads? If these are sanctioned events I understand why you can't just disable the ABS but otherwise.. crappy pads are, in fact, an absurd solution as you stated.
