Would you say its necessary to get an oil cooler?
Eric (and many others) know more about this than i do. But to be honest, dont buy an oil cooler till you need one. Next time you hit your AX/HPDE, monitor your oil temps to see if you are very high. As you progress or get faster you may require one. But, dont add one till you need one. If your HPDE keeps getting cut short due to heat soak and high oil temps, then you need an oil cooler. But I dont see the reason to buy one just cause you hit the track a couple of time. Its just another place to check for leaks anyway.

Plus the car wont really let you hurt it. It will start retarding things if the temps go too north of 300*F.
