TPMS Question

This question may be addressed somewhere, but so far I haven't found it. I have installed a set of rims and tires on my 2011 MCS for a track event this weekend, and I don't have an extra set of TPMS sensors for this track set. Is there anyway to turn off the system so I don't get the low tire pressure warning on my dash? It is too costly to have the sensors from one set to the other.

Nope, but why would it matter, just ignore it.

I have heard that you could put tape inside the tire on the sensor which will disable it, but do not know enough.

No way to turn off the TPMS sensor at this point but I will not hurt anything just annoying with the indicator. Or purchase a used set of sensors for your wheels.
