Default Track day anyone?

I am thinking about running in the track day at Horsethief Mile on July 14, 2007.

http://srtmotorsports.com/srttrackdays/

I have been to two other events held by SRT. Tons of track time is an understatement. Very relaxed group. Its mostly EVO drivers who usually show up.

I'm hoping some Z owners will join me in showing those EVO owners a thing or two Anyone interested?

over heat last year on streets around this time but i just did HTM this past weekend with a new radiator and no signs of trouble at all.

i probably won't be out there again until fall. then again, i might get the urge and show up. i've done 3 events with speedventures now and they are a pretty relaxed group too.

it was above 3/4s at temps you would be concerned with. i also touched the red zone. most people don't have this problem. i also have an oil cooler directly in front of the radiator blowing super hot air and a license plate covering vital air flow.

overheating wasn't that bad, because cruising on a straightaway brought temps back down quickly. car is stock cept for popcharger, oil pan spacer and oil cooler at the time. maybe drop in a bottle of redline water wetter before you go. i also started seeing high temps on htm in march. maybe something is wrong with my engine but after i got the koyo 3 row, temps are very good and drop really fast. as long as you keep an eye on it it should be fine. there was a completely stock 07 last weekend and he had no problems.
