I drove my 2012 pretty hard through the mountains in North Carolina this summer when it was 95* plus out and never went over 220.

I would also like to know if i will have any problems on the track. Its going to be my first track event on the 30th...I'm very excited but at the same time I'm worried she might over-heat...

Take your car to the track and if it go's into limp mode you'll know the car needs an upgrade. If you find you'll be tracking the car frequently there, you'll get an upgrade.

For any street driving I doubt an OEM oil cooler would be worth upgrading.

Doesn't sound like you're going to do enough to warrant an oil cooler... The lessons should be a good guide though... One other thing. If you have less than 5k miles then maybe you might want to consider the full 5k break in before modding. Especially on the oil cooler. For some reason those first 5k the engine runs extra hot. Afterward you see a decrease in temp. Make sure you use a quality synthetic of your choice.
