You who have a track-only NSX, have you kept your splash-guards around the wheels ? Is it ok to remove them ?

Are the fender liners really that heavy? I think your decision might be based a bit on how much damage you are willing to sustain to the fenders from on-track debris being thrown into the insides of the fenders.
I think he meant the fenders themselves, because he's a super-cool 'formula car' driver...
If your talking about the inter fender liners, I would leave them on. I have gone through a couple already from running over road garbage that I didn't see in time. Seems everytime you hit something with a front wheel, they pick it up and throw it into the inside of the wheel well.
If you didn't have you inter fender liners on, I can only imagine what it would to you actual fenders.
They would look like someone took a ball peen hammer to the inside of them and started pounding them up in places.

Track only - ha!
Take off the splash guards and sleep well at night. Don't give it another thought.
Keep them, however, in case you decide to add brake ducting. They are a great way to terminate the brake ducts.
Maybe i'm reading it wrong...
Some people have used the front splash guards as a way to hold the hose end of front brake ducts. Cut a large hole in the splash guard, then connect brake duct hose to it. Now, remove the rest of the splash guard and, voila, custom built and sturdy brake duct hose end holders.
Hope this makes sense. If not, perhaps NSXTASY will send pics (again).
You left out a step. That sentence should read, "Cut a large hole in the splash guard, weld a flange around the edge, then connect brake duct hose to the flange." And the rest of the splash guard remains (and keeps some of the heat of the brakes off the ball joints, which avoids a big problem with removing them).
