Yeah... Can't wait. I have not yet used Launch Control. Saturday will be the first time!
Next step: track day pics or ban.

On a track day with race cars, you will receive some rubber and other little rocks at one point and there is no clear bra that will protect your car completely.

The delicate tape is super thin. Blue tape is already pretty marginal thickness for protection against a chunk of rubber at 120 MPH. Used to use quality duct tape over freshly applied paste wax (not removed). Over the wax the duct tape was comparable to blue tape in ease of removal and residue left over, and provided much more protection.
