best oil for track

Yep, open up the hood and let the heat out. Also, some have relocated their oil cooler so that it is getting more direct air flow. If your water temps are staying cool, as stated above you are good even at 285. The motor will pull some timing and performance will be down, but you aren't in harms way. Just make sure you change your oil before the next event.

Agreed! Get them hood vents installed and do a cool down lap or two. With the hood vents, I saw my temps fall immediately doing a cool down lap. Also, when you get back to the paddock, leave the car running and left the hood for 5 minutes or so.
