Is it necessary to pry off the wheel center caps with the MB star when driving the car on track events/autox's near or at the limit? SLK55er, did you yank yours? I'm concerned because I've had this issue on my audi where my center caps would fly off at track events during hard cornering causing twisting of the wheel etc and I've lost several caps that way. Not sure of an easy way of prying off these MB center caps though. Also, any advice on what kind of cold tire pressures to run on autox's as compared to road courses where most maneuvers are tighter and generally more demanding in terms of tire grip and wear?
So autox season is here and I plan on running on at least 4-5 events this year hopefully... and I can definitely kiss these stock pirelli rosso's goodbye by summer's end. Looks like the SLK55 will run in Class A Stock http://moutons.org/sccasolo/Lists/2005/stockc.html while the SLK350 will be B stock. Stiff competition the SLK55 has... up against M coupes, NSX's, S2000's, AWD WRX STi's, and AWD Audi V8 S4's. Yikes.
