I don't know of anybody in the Austin area with a tool. I know there are lots of guys in the Dallas and Houston areas with a tool.
I would say put the question up in the AutoX/Roadrace section of the forum and ask if any of the C6 guys going to the event have a tool, and if so will they bring it to the event. I'm sure there are probably several with a tool that will be attending.

At a lot of track events often have a tire service there. Where I road race most often, Carroll Shelby Goodyear Tire generally provides a fairly full range of tire services right at the track. You might check where you're going to see if they have tire services (and TPMS tools) there. Just a thought. Good luck!

Go to Discount Tire. When they rotate the tires on our 2005 Tahoe (for free), they also reset the TPMS (for free) with their tool.
I love discount Tire.

Well....there are hundreds of us DIY'ers here on the forum that have bought a tool so we can reset the sensors when we swap to our track wheels and back.
Yes, it costs about $150 and up for a tool, but it's a necessary tool to have if you have a couple sets of wheels/tires/sensors that you swap regularly.
Below is a video of a $140 tool in use that shows you can DIY.

Amen, buy the damn tool. Get together with your racing buddies and share the cost.
