i'm a newb like you since I never have ran one either (probably never will based on some comments said to me by aforementioned cool autox people I came across) but if the patches were done right I don't think it would be a major problem. I mean patches are put in and driven on while being deemed a safe repair method. but under high tire temps and stress I am not sure nor an expert on that.

that's about where my uncle lived in west orange. he was a trainer for the devils for a few years so I would go down for pens v devils games then go out with him and players after the games and whatnot. it was def a good time.

You'll typically get into 2nd gear and just hang there. Come out and race on Sunday!! It's gonna be a good time man.

Well I never run in auto-x cause those events here nobody are doing it from the earlys 2000 But my first run in the Z was a time attack event in January and the gears that I most use 3rd and 4th... sometimes 2nd and 5th on the drag straight... But I think in Auto-X if the track is a short configuration the gears that you are going to use I think are going to be 2nd and 3rd gear.

I plan on running if they let me run lol

i'll go kiss up a small bit if they are really crossed with me about the sound but I am not swapping out my exhaust just for a small couple hour event. not worth my time.

so if they allow it i'm running. if not then fuck em

My first 5 events were on my stock yoko's with a plug in the rear tire. I was safe and it held like a champ. It was done by an ex con who had a used tire shop down the street.
