Coldest Track day you've even run???

40 degrees, Willow Springs, my second event ever. Definitely gloves.. Balaklava for your ears under the helmet helps. I wore a full beanie under mine first time.. 300 treadwear tires

40 degrees, Willow Springs, my second event ever. Definitely gloves.. Balaklava for your ears under the helmet helps. I wore a full beanie under mine first time.. 300 treadwear tires won't warm up for about 5 laps so take it really ******* easy. Brakes will be cold too so take it ******* easy.. Engine temps won't be very good either and you don't want to push the VQ until it gets above 170 or the oil pressure spikes.. So take it ******* easy!

32 degrees. NJMP lightning. A lot of warm up laps. Oil temp never went above 230-40 . a good wind proof jacket is a must. MAYBE some gloves if you're used to not wearing gloves. Good luck.

ps: Cancel? absurd! lol 45 is fantastic! just warm up the car for few laps. Take it easy first few laps. You'll have a lot of fun. If anything, a little cooler temp is less stressful for the car.
