Is there a thread somewhere I don't see for last minute discussion about specifics for next week track days? Seems like novices may have some questions or benefit from comments from the advance drivers about what to prepare for; stuff that is not in the registration standard blurbs.
Weather for example. Heat is always a question at T-Hill and although we've enjoyed a nice break here from summer lately, it'll be mid 90's again next week. Mornings should be fine; probably high 80's max before lunch. So for the novices and those coming from cooler temps, a thought for your cooling system might be in order. If you're suspect at all about your car's ability to handle high RPM's at high temps, a drain, flush and refill with Water Wetter might be a good idea.
I know many/most of you guys are well versed in taking care of your X on track but for the first time novice with a 150K mileage car, some discussion may help. Just a thought.
