Using the changing method I think I'll get 5 or more years out of the cheapos, and at least 5 years of auto x. Or about 30 lapping sessions for track. Don't forget not to skimp on the fluid (motul 600 for me)

Thinking about running my car @ MM, what's the cost to do so. What's the rules/regulations? Helmets? Anyone else racing?
