Thought I had Track worthy Cooling Setup...but guess not
So:
Well I def enjoyed the car more and focused more on learing the track and getting the line down versus tripping out over my water temps.
My car at first was steady at 97c in the morning but later on during the hottest part of the day (102f) I did hit 105c but I was really pushing my car. Im still not happy at all! Better tahn before, but I still want to make my car run alittle bit cooler. Maybe oil cooler kit? I already have dual ducted r1 oil coolers but I will research on that.
EBC yellowstuff brakes with motul 600 worked beautifully. NO fade at all.
------For those of you interested: My lap time was ~1:35 which is not too good. I still need to smooth out my braking and follow the line better. Tires became an issue also. (Im running 225/50/16 RE0-1R's) and I need more grip overall but more so in the back.

FWIW,
Crispy
someone may have covered this (i looked some)........but why would you want 70/30 mix in the cooling? any coolant is a real reduction in heat transfer, just 100% water with some 'wetter' is the way to go
you'll get lower viscosity and better heat transfer, put coolant in for 'off track only' but on track days get coolant outa there......besides, coolant is slicker'n'snot on the track surface........especially when its yours dumping in front of your rear wheels........

-what were your oil temps?
-what boost pressure were you running?
-what track was this on?
-still running stock dual oil coolers?
-any special ducting for your oil coolers/radiator/IC (I know you have a v-mount)?
Glad to hear your setup is working well.
If you read back a page or two, he was running at Willow Springs (in So. Cal), has stock dual oil coolers, and ducted the V-Mount.
- Here is a one session long vid I took right after I had spun 720+degrees going 110mph trough the chicane.
