Unfortunately, you don't always have a choice. Running race-only rubber is just not worth it.

My mother had an accident a couple of weeks ago. I can't tell you what a joy it was to get a call from the police, then arrive at the scene just in time to see the other driver carted off in an ambulance. Mom is 82 and was driving an '86 Jetta. She wasn't hurt. The other driver is about 35 and was complaining of neck pain. She was in a MB 300E !?!.

The first thing I did was to call the insurance agent to make sure all the policies were paid, including the liability umbrella.

By the way, I know of a case where non-DOT approved stainless steel brake lines factored heavily in a large jury award!
