No huge updates currently. I went to Harris Hill Raceway for the first time yesterday (13th) and had a blast. I took a course of instruction which included 3 20 minute sessions, total of 28 laps. On lap #19 I did my best time at 1:43.86, although obviously time wasn't especially my focus. I used Harry's Laptimer and was able to get enough data logging to analyze and determine I absolutely do need an engine oil cooler.

Here's a video of the lap: [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQyIkywMLEM[/ame]

After analyzing my data logs, my peak oil temperature was 258F and my average oil temperature was 256F for the day. The ambient temperature was around 82F, so I'm especially concerned how things will go as Summer progresses down here in South Texas. I'm thinking at this point that getting the Jackson Racing Dual Rad Oil Cooler is the best bet.

Cheers
