I wouldn't run more than 38-40psi cold, for street use, let alone a scrub session... I suppose autoX could yield a higher starting pressure (I've never done autoX) since you need your desired tire pressure right away, as opposed to track where you can warm up a lap or two, first..
I guess it's my poor driving too.

I used to put 50 psi in front when I auto x my 07 GTI. lol

Tire does not heat up that much during auto x. You run for 1 minute and wait for 5~10 min.
The pressure goes up maybe 3~4 psi.

and of course, I lower it down to 35 psi for street use.
