All you have to do is blow up the engine in your current car. Nothing to it 
Having a job has drawbacks... I got a meeting rescheduled to Saturday on me.

Unless, of course, you blew the motor in your OWN S2000. Surely no one would be so silly.
Bummer you're missing the last auto-x, though. You could always quit your job, I s'pose....

No, I don't think 8 runs on any street tire would tear it up unless you went out and did a 360 spin out on every single corner for all 8 laps. We ran my gf's brand new kumho 712's at the last event for 16 laps and we each had about 2-3 spins. You can hardly tell that we drove on them. Just make sure you have the proper inflation and you'll be fine.

But at the same time, if you've already got some older tires that you don't mind tearing up (the 225's) then why not tear those up... you will put some wear and tear into them... not to mention other possible misshaps (I got a screw right near the side wall on my rear tires my first time out)... Sure the 245's may give you some extra bite, but are you really going to need the extra bite the first time out there?
If it were me, I would tear up the older tires since I had them anyway... just my $0.02

He just asked me if 1 day of autocross would destroy his tire and the answers is no. If you have old tires you want to destroy or slide around on then that's perfectly fine too. I was just giving him the option of using his new ones without any problems. And i don't know why there would be any nails or screws out there.
