Rock chips, chip or scratches on the black wheels etc. I've considered clear bra on the rest of the vehicle. Thank you!

I would recommend a dedicated set of track wheels/tires, as well as track brake pads. While you're at it, flush-out your brake fluid with Motul RBF 600 or equivalent.

You're going to be burning rubber up, might as well be track tires, while at the same time preserving your street tires. It's a win win.

There is a lead-follow track event for novices at NJMP Thunderbolt this Saturday. What are you waiting for?
