@ CSG Mike, I would like to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I do have one question (for now at least :laugh  . Why do you say not to engage the parking brake? Is it to allow the rears to cool? |
Ill just in to help. Yes. Your brakes will be VERY hot afterwards. Engaging brakes and holding them when still and hot will allow transfer of material.
I would even avoid holding foot brake when idle as much as possible after coming off. My personal suggestion is to find flat ground, let the engine run with AC on for a 5 minutes when coming off track (secondary fan will run, blowing air onto the oilpan), then lift your hood and shut the car off. Shaded spot if possible.
