Funny,

I was garaged near a guy at T-bolt last October who had centerlocks his Porsche.

He asked for my help putting his wheels on. Not sure how much of this was drama for my benefit, but it was some absurd multi-step process putting those on. In the end, he had this humongous torque wrench with an extended breaker bar on it that was necessary to get the torque up high enough to the factory setting.

Maybe Porsche has made a secret pact with folks like Doughtery's to make it almost mandatory to hire track-side service.

You nailed it!

Repair shops, wheel manufacturers, tool suppliers and my chiropractor are the only ones benefitting from this change...

Nick, is a tire warmer kinda like a "fluffer"?!

Eric! I don't care about a fluffer........... get someone else for that. I meant to be your co-driver. If you would do high level AX competition with your beast, the only way to be competitive is if you have a TIRE WARMER....... person driving the course to warm the tires for the second driver. No other means of tire warming is allowed.
