Potential issues for hot upcoming track day?

if your oil hits 240, start cooling down. The VQ rod bearings cant be trusted past 250 under track loads, and the water likes to start getting warm at that oil temp range also

How many people lost their motor due to oil temp? I have only recall two or three posts about people losing their motor outside of oil consumption.
