If it matters, the tracks i will be driving are:
1) 50% Mosport
2) 25% Watkins Glen
3) 25% Calabogie
4) 10% Tremblant

That would put you at 10% above your expected track times

the cups are very close to stock ~ 40/60. If you are not going to street your car much, guard is awesome. 50/80.

I've opted to go with 50/80 since i don't drive it much but how bad is it on the street like what's going to happen : (. Mike

city driving and parking sucks but driving is fine. Guard will be able to talk you through. They are out past Sac. They will do not have a retail shop.
