Yep, you're completely right on the oil temp, I guess it was creeping to 240 in that session (pretty much the only unobstructed laps I have ever driven on that

Yep, you're completely right on the oil temp, I guess it was creeping to 240 in that session (pretty much the only unobstructed laps I have ever driven on that track) but its interesting how on the same lap the motor goes, it goes up noticeably higher. Only oil temp data recording device I have is the video and my brain.
Rev limit unchanged, 7.5K. 80k on the engine. I would estimate 2500 track miles, and a lot more general hard driving miles. If I cant use the power I almost always run it in a higher gear around high G corners to reduce engine wear and oiling issues. I also try to warm my oil before I take the revs high. Apparently it wasn't enough. Yes, I F'ed up not leaving the track immediately. Was kinda struggling to absorb that I just blew my engine (never done that before) and for some inane reason was trying to coast it back to avoid a tow until they meatball flagged me and I gave up. I know that's not a good reason. After I stopped the oil thing immediately occurred to me and I felt like a total douche. Oh and the gloves... those are go-karting gloves I snagged at the go-kart track in Dubai. Work great lol. I do own a pair of SFI approved but seem silly to wear since I'm not in a suit. Tho unburnt hands would be better than burnt hands. Back on the subject of the thread, I have been in contact with Brian at Valkryie Autosport and he has been very helpful in working to figure out the best solution for me. Once we have a definite plan I'll update. Thanks for your time so far Brian. Until then, thanks for the ideas, compliments and the constructive criticism.
