PSM On or Off for the TOD??

I figured this would have been discussed already, but since it hasn't allow me to broach the subject.

Since we will only have one opportunity with this, what are your opinions concerning running the Tail of the Dragon with PSM on or off????

Please give reasons for your answer.

I would have it on. TOD has lots of cliffs I hear, and it may be my opinion, but I dont want my car to fall off them, especialy with me in it.

ON! Its safer! saved me once. For the average driver On would be faster times. On a japanese DVD, they did a skidpan with the PSM on and off, the times were faster with the PSM ON!

No, just kidding...I need to call Fabspeed, I am not sure they have fabricated one yet for the GT3 according to their web site. They said they were waiting for a doner car...Maybe they have gotten one by now...If I was close to them, I would offer to be the doner...As far as PSM goes, I have been teasing yuz guyz...Like the GT2, the GT3's psm is the driver's ability to keep the car in control as there is no PSM on the car....

Woe is me. I'd sure vote on, but I don't have a switch. I might even take out 4 spark plugs before the run.

If only I had PSM. IMHO, I do not think anybody going to this event needs to be pushing hard enough that PSM should even be a factor. It would put a major damper on things if somebody was to go off a cliff, into a rock face, or have a close encounter with another car or motorcycle. Remeber the TOD is a public highway that is patrolled and does have slower traffic on it.
