AutoX and track time... ESP or no?

Just wondering, for those that have been tracking or competing with their cars, what have you been doing with ESP?

Leave it on
Hit the button (leaves ESP partially functional?)
Dyno mode


Thanks to anyone who responds.

Hey Kwik-

Have you done any events this year? Just wondering which class you ended up in with the coupe. Any of your mods cause exceptions or class bumps?

There are a few events coming up in my area, the 26th and the following. I could also hit up a local SCCA annual tech inspection this Sunday. Just need to pay for membership.

There just isn't a lot of info on the web. Most of the links I found are dead.

I have done 2 track events this year so far, not SCCA events so I don't know what class the coupe would be in. Also, I didn't take the coupe, I took the BMW
