Since this is the track/autox forum, and since the topic of this thread seems appropriate enough, I think someone should do an in-depth explanation of why you would want to DISABLE ABS on an autox/road-course. I know locking up the rear wheels and/or threshold braking allows you to rotate the car a bit easier, but I'm sure there are more qualified individuals in here to explain.
