Not to pick on Scott personally, but as a general warning:

DO NOT EVER PULL THE FUSE ON AN ABS SYSTEM unless you fully understand the method of operation of this particular system.  We had a guy do this at an autocross on his cat (I believe it was a Neon ACR) and he ran off the road and hit a fence.  Since this bonehead move was also illegal under autocrossing's Stock-Category rules, we banned him from our club for a stated time.  On his car, and maybe others, pulling the fuse on the ABS circuit does not just cleanly remove ABS and leave you with a normal braking system.
