Eric have you ever done an autocross? It is like a 90 second course... so how would your breaks and tires be "gone"?

Yeah so basically there is no chance of that ever happening at an autocross.

Now back to Jim for today's weather report...  :P

Umm, no.  Have you ever done a track day?  Same thing.  If your car is in good order a track day is nothing.  And if it is someone that is into performance, they likely have upgraded brakes, suspension, wheels, tires, and engine.  

Most cars last 100-200,000 miles of normal use.  Why would 50 miles of spirited use wear everything out?  

I have done track days on bikes and cars.
