I've always run 50 psi in my front Nitto R2s (sticky road race 275/40 17s) at the track with NO problems. I figured more pressure=lower rolling resistance=at least a couple hundreths quicker (hopefully), especially on a minor bolt on car that needs all the help it can get!
If you feel unsafe/unsure about that, running 44-45# should NOT be a problem for the short time you'll be at that pressure, on a clean, smooth surface, given (as others have said) your sidewall states that the tire can be inflated to that pressure.
