-Don't forget to check the tire pressure. I ran my tires on 36psi (cold). After the first session it should be at about 42psi (hot).

-Put Water Wetter in your cooling system.

-Here's a great cooling tip and it's free. Turn your heater on full blast and point the vents out the open windows. I did this on a road course in the desert when it was 99 degrees. The temp gauge never went past half way all day.
Good info, thanks
I know the heater trick.
I'm in Canada so the heat should be reasonable. It rarely gets much over 85F here, average is 75F with a lot of humidity.
I won't be doing many laps in a row.

I didn't mention it at first (now edited) but I have the competition package with the quaiffe, it should help give a good show to the modded SRT-4s.
